What's in the Box? 

Round 2: after 3 weeks with new prompts in place – "facilities," "academics," and "social & cultural" – 3 faculty/staff gathered to uncover what was shared; each person took a turn reading a random sticky note from the Opportunity Box aloud, then placed it onto a whiteboard (image carousel)

As the group added notes to the boards, groups emerged with apparent commonalities between notes and some proximity to current sticky note prompts (below):

Facilities – bathroom, perpetual (maintenance), space vibes

Academics – curricular, pedagogical

Social & Cultural – individual notes

What's in the Box? 

Curiosity about "what's in the box?" brought five students, three faculty and two staff gathered to Hayes Hall 105. After expressing their intentionality – what brought them to the gathering – each person took a turn reading a random sticky note from the Opportunity Box aloud, then placed it onto a whiteboard.

As the group added notes to the boards, groups emerged with apparent commonalities between notes. Two readily apparent groups were:

• "building" related mostly to problems with Hayes Hall facilities

• "academic" included problems and ideas around curricular activities

Feature Update

Project Board – features a "happenings" area with listed dates for time-based, synchronous events; also features a "projects" area where ongoing projects are named, the development phase is tracked, project leaders listed; an archive of questions-of-the-week occupies the bottom of the board as well.

Opportunity Box – includes three colors of sticky notes soliciting issues/complaints (orange), ideas/solutions (purple), and musings/thoughts (blue). 

Home Table – a physical structure comprising a counter-height surface and roof-like superstructure for the purpose of calling attention to the D&B Booth location.

Welcome Board – whiteboard with welcome message, graphical Q&A about the D&B Booth; features a question-of-the-week that folks can answer by writing in marker or adding a sticky note.

Box Opening Scheduled!

After nearly 5 weeks of collecting responses and a round of in-class invitations for participation, we have a date and location planned for opening our Opportunity Box together with anyone who would like to join.

2nd-floor Re-location

The majority of design foundations and design major students have class on the 2nd floor of Hayes Hall, not everyone passes through the lobby on the way up. So, today we moved our D&B Booth up to a hallway intersection on the 2nd floor to increase its visibility.
