Room Condition Reports
Some tips:
Write neatly
Take pictures of any and all damage (EMAIL:duresed@gmail,com)
Write the NAME and ROOM NUMBER when documenting incidents
WRITE THE SUMMARY LINE (Ex: "Tapestry covering 75% of ceiling" or "Smoke detector covered with plastic bag)
Anything in plain sight that is a violation MUST BE DOCUMENTED (Ex: Vodka sitting on a desk, Large knife on desk, Marijuana pipe on windowsill)
Be descriptive
Make note of all incidents including room number-call security at the END of closing with the entire list. This will limit the number of calls and allows you do call in all incidents at once rather than stopping and starting the process.

Are you thinking about life after campus? Take Action with an EXTERNSHIP!
The deadline to apply for an externship is November 15! - The ExternsEverywhere program connects students with alumni and friends of Denison for job-shadow experiences (aka. Externships). These externships help students choose their career path by providing invaluable insight into the "real world".
Students are able to network with and shadow successful professionals at reputable companies, in highly-desirable cities, and within many industries including; sales, finance, legal, public relations, medical, consulting, non-profit, fine arts, education and many more. Search DULink for a complete list.
If you need a reference for externships or internships, feel free to ask me. It is proper to ask your references rather than assume that they will provide you with a positive reference. I am happy to write references for staff members who have demonstrated professionalism, leadership skills, relational skills and more. When requesting a reference I ask that you meet with a CE&D staff member, submit a description of the internship/externship, and provide me with your resume. With the busy lives we lead, it is important that we do not forget to focus on the future!
