We are scheduled to start moving our event items from PH 002 to the MU on Thursday at 12 noon.

Your help in making the conference run smoothly is greatly appreciated. Together, we will create something special! Attached please find an Excel file with your specific job assignments on one worksheet and descriptions of the duties of each job on a different worksheet (see tabs near the bottom of the file). Your name might be listed as many as six times, or just once, depending on the time frame of the job(s) assigned. Remember to look for your name more than once. Then, click on the second worksheet tab to learn what each job entails. Check for updates and changes to the list between now and the event date. Notify me immediately if your name is not on the list, your job assignment is not explained or in conflict with another job assigned to you, or if you cannot perform your assigned duties. In addition to the assigned jobs, all TIME 2000 students are responsible for "Crowd Control" and "Lunch" and "Food." Please read those job descriptions on the attached excel file (second tabbed worksheet). When you are between jobs, you should attend the keynote address and/or workshops.

Guide them to the correct location. 2. Be PROFESSIONAL! Know your job assignment(s) and what is expected of you before arriving at the conference. Please be ON TIME for each assignment. We are depending on you. Help make the day run smoothly! 3. Be POSITIVE! When you speak with our guests, introduce yourself and speak positively about the college and the program. If you are not sure how to answer a guest's question about the program, direct them to someone who will know rather than guessing or using "I think" language. 4. DRESS: Wear your TIME 2000 tee-shirts. If you do not have a TIME 2000 shirt (why not?), please wear royal blue and/or white and/or a TIME 2000 Sweatshirt. Students who did not receive shirts last month should see me in PH 002 later today. 5.

If you see litter, please pick it up and put it in the trash. 6. Know how to get to the classrooms to which you are assigned BEFORE the conference.

If you are not assigned to a job at this time, please help set up items if necessary. Help maintain the food tables (until guests are seated in the auditorium) by refilling items (extra water bottles are under the table) and/or moving them up to the front of the food tables.

All TIME 2000 students without an assignment at this time should be seated quietly in the auditorium, behind the guests or in the balcony. If you need to report to your next job before 11am, sit on an aisle so that you may leave quietly. Most importantly, TIME 2000 students should be good role models for the high school students. Please do not talk during the presentations. Remember to allow the high school guests to answer the questions posed by the presenters. 10:45am (shortly before the keynote speaker finishes his presentation): * Presenter Escorts Meet the presenter you will escort to a classroom in the lobby at the time requested.

BEFORE the keynote speaker finishes speaking, you will line up on the grass to the left as you exit MU as directed by the captains with your room signs held high. Follow instructions listed on job descriptions. Room signs should be picked up from the captains before 9:30am or from the captains when you meet now. Follow instructions of captains so that rooms are listed in numerical order and escorts are well-spaced around the grassy area. Expect 20-25 students per classroom. Leave for your session I room as instructed by the dismissal captains. 11:15am-12:05pm: Session I * Escorts will bring students to assigned classrooms. All TIME 2000 students in a classroom should offer their assistance to the presenter. Also assist with the distribution and collection of calculators and other materials. Help ensure that all equipment is collected from students before students leave the classroom. * At the end of the first workshop, presenters will stay in the same room and students will move to a different room for the second session. Students in the same room for Session I will move together, as a group, to a room for Session II. When the first workshop ends, announce to the students in the room to follow you to the next workshop. Know your assigned room numbers! 12:15pm-1:05pm: Session II Escorts should lead the guests to the second room. The room number is listed in the attached Excel file and can also be found in the high school students' folders. There are no room signs for Session II as your group of students is already with you.

One lunch per person. Please help distribute lunches as soon as you get to the lunch room. All guests, teachers and students, must hand you a completed yellow evaluation form as a lunch ticket.

TIME 2000 students should be positioned in front of the lunch tables, standing between the guests and the food. Guests will hand you completed tickets and then you will hand them the lunches of their choice. Q&A Session with TIME 2000 Student Panel: All TIME 2000 Students: Please help with crowd and noise control. It was difficult to hear the panel discussion in previous years. Please help keep the crowd quiet as needed. TIME 2000 students should spread out around the room. Help quiet the crowd.
