Procedures+and+Protocol

1) we have a few outside vendors (non-governmental organizations, community green organizations, organic food vendors who will give away samples) -- is there a form they should fill out? what are the instructions for their set-up? etc. 2) tables for different BMCC groups involved with sustainability: should we get a contact person for each of these entities and submit this info to you? 3) Arrangement for tables/set-up: what are the procedures for this? Is there a cost for this?

1) south lobby, 199 chambers street unless they have baggage etc. in which case, ** This is correct ** 2) enter through loading dock area on West Street next to parking lot -- they take the elevator up to 3rd floor and cross over to South bldg via overpass and then take the elevator down to level 2 - ** This is also correct ** 3) If vendors want to come in this way, we should ask they they forward their time of arrival to us and we will make a list to send to you so you can make sure they will have no problem entering the building. ** This is also correct, only I would add that you send the list to both me and security **
 * The procedure for vendors to enter the building is ...**

I have just spoken with Ed Sullivan. We have agreed that a letter from the companies giving away the food stating that they hold us harmless in case anyone gets sick from eating it will suffice. Please also let me know about furniture set-up. Please also contact John Gallagher and Lisa White for all if your media needs.

You should talk to Richard Halem of MBJ, 212-220-7260. His office is behind the 2nd floor cafeteria. Richard can give you information about the options and the costs. You won't be able to give him a budget code to charge, but tell him to contact me for payment.
 * Food Orders from MBJ**

Then fill out the PURCHASE/EXPENSE voucher, attach the details, and bring it to MY OFFICE for my signature. I will pass it along to Scott so that he can authorize payment.

**Invitation to C-STEP Student Researchers:**
Attention C-STEP student researchers,

BMCC is proud to sponsor it's 1st ever Sustainability Fair! Many of you participated in research that has environmental, social or economic implications, if you feel that pertains to you and your research read on... In order to promote sustainability in all its aspects we would like you to consider submitting your research to the Fair in order to widen the scope of what sustainability can mean for researchers at BMCC, in it's applications and realization for the sciences. Our campus is in a unique position within CUNY, with its close proximity to the Hudson River and it's eminent installation of a 30kilowatt solar panel system on its huge rooftop, not only for biological and marine sciences, but also for energy and engineering innovations.

The Fair is fast approaching, and will take place on **Monday May 7th from 9-5 ** in the ** Richard Harris Terrance **. All entries will be rewarded by a **free metro card and a reusable stainless steel bottle (or some other comparable gift for your participation) **

If you are interested in participating in the Fair you will be asked to set up your poster and any other research material and spend a portion of the day engaging fair goers in your research and how it is relevant to the ideas, practices, and implications of sustainability.

Please contact Cynthia Wiseman at cwiseman@bmcc.cuny.edu or Lisa Bloodgood at sustainability.bmcc@gmail.com or lisabloodgood@gmail.com if you want to register or if you have any questions.

Happy Earth Day!
