RAC Director: Thank you for showing up to Renter’s Fair, it went smoothly. Out of 23 landlords/companies we had 22 show up. About 2/3 of them had freebies to give away. We had 0 participation at the Renter’s Seminar, which was kind of expected. We gave surveys out to the people who came to Renter’s Fair. We only got 7 of these back. I asked if we should have Renter’s Fair at another location on campus…everyone pretty much agreed the atrium is a good place. I asked how we could better promote Renter’s Fair…one said signage around campus. So, Renter’s Fair went really well. Thank you to those who showed up.
Advisor: Robyn’s exhibit is up in the BartlettCenter until Friday. I went to the Street Party on Saturday. It went really well. It was about 50/50 students and Stillwater residents/families. We need to talk about our cookout in informal. Thank you for showing up to Renter’s Fair, it went smoothly.
