Is there a special event happening in your department? Do you know a student who has an interesting hobby, or who has made a significant accomplishment? Are you involved in community outreach? An educational program? A hands-on workshop or training session? Public Affairs wants to know about any and all of these events. There are a variety of ways we can publicize events and accomplishments in the school, but we can’t promote them if we don’t know they’re happening. Though not every event is going to catch the attention of the media, we can still promote your event through one of our social media accounts, our monthly community newsletter or by writing our own feature story for the school’s website. Drop us an email and tell us what’s happening. We’ll share the good news.
Public Affairs offers a variety of items to support your events. Do you need a logo banner to showcase at your fair booth? We have a few. Are you serving cold drinks at an event and want something sleeker than a cooler? You can borrow one of our stainless steel beverage tubs. Visit our website to check out photos of available items and fill out an event support request form to reserve what you need. New designs of retractable banners and flag banners are available! You can also request an appearance by our energetic and fun Baby Jay. Loved by adults and kids alike, Baby Jay will kick your event up a notch. All Baby Jay appearances must have a direct connection to KUSM-W.

by Simon Sinek (18 minutes, 34 seconds) Simon Sinek presents a simple but powerful model for how leaders inspire action, starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers -- and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0HIF3SfI4

Following a disaster, there may be power outages that last several days or even weeks. In preparation, you should build an emergency food supply that does not require electricity. The supply should be for everyone (including pets) to last at least three days. Many local stores do sell emergency meal kits (be sure to carefully read the labels), but you do not need an expensive store-bought kit if you have a good food storage plan. Just think BUS:
Balance-Maintain a balanced diet. Include high-energy foods such as nuts and protein bars and some comfort foods such as graham crackers and peanut butter. *If there are special dietary needs, plan ahead to meet those needs. There can be serious effects if the right food is not available. If you mix infant formula, store additional bottled water to meet this need. If special equipment (blender, food scale, feeding tubes, etc.) is needed, plan ahead. Consider storing backup emergency equipment at a friend’s or relative’s home.
Usability-Choose foods that do not require electricity or water. Canned foods, dried meats and cereal, and canned fruits and vegetables don’t need to be heated or cooled. Do not forget to pack eating utensils and a manual can opener in your supply kit!
Shelf life-Use and replace foods before the expiration date. To protect these food items, store them in a sealed plastic container. During an extended power outage, not all is lost inside your refrigerator and freezer. Bacteria quickly grow in temperatures between 40 and 140°F, but there are things you can do to help preserve the temperature inside. First, have a thermometer in both your refrigerator and freezer. Keep ice in your freezer to help keep the temperature down. When the power does go out, cover the fridge or freezer in newspapers and blankets (keep vents clear for when the appliances are powered back on). Avoid opening the doors, and when opened to retrieve items, close the door immediately and check the door seal. If the refrigerator temperature stays above 40°F for more than four hours, perishable foods such as milk, lunchmeat, eggs, mayonnaise-based salads, poultry, leftovers, etc. may be unsafe to eat. If your freezer temperature stays above 40°F for more than one or two days, foods may be unsafe to eat. Food that has surface ice crystals should be safe, but pay attention to color and odor of the food, particularly meat that has been thawed. Thawed foods can usually be eaten or refrozen if they are “refrigerator cold.” Click on this chart for food-specific guidance. Always trust your senses. If any food item, including canned food, has an unusual appearance, odor, taste or texture, discard it. If in doubt, throw it out. Learn what else should be in your emergency supply kit or contact Safety & Emergency Management at 293-3409 or [email protected].
RAVE text messaging is the tool we use to send timely notifications and updates in emergency situations like inclement weather, tornado warnings, campus closures, etc. As another safety measure, campus Safety & Emergency Management is now offering a new and free app called RAVE Guardian. RAVE Guardian allows you to call 911 with a click of a button, stay in contact with family and friends, and have campus emergency phone numbers readily available in one central location on your phone. Learn more about how the app works to help keep you safe (scroll towards the bottom of the page). You can download the RAVE Guardian app from the Apple or Google app stores. If you have questions about RAVE text messaging or the Guardian app, email [email protected] or call 293-3409.
