Is there a special event happening in your department? Do you know a student who has an interesting hobby, or who has made a significant accomplishment? Are you involved in community outreach? An educational program? A hands-on workshop or training session? Public affairs wants to know about any and all of these events. There are a variety of ways we can publicize events and accomplishments in the school, but we can’t promote them if we don’t know they’re happening. Though not every event is going to catch the attention of the media, we can still promote your event through one of our social media accounts, our monthly community newsletter, or by writing our own feature story for the school’s website. Keep us informed. Drop us an email and tell us what’s happening. We’ll share the good news.

Public affairs offers a variety of items to support your department events. Do you need a logo banner to showcase at your fair booth? We have a few. Are you serving cold drinks at an event and want something sleeker than a cooler? You can borrow one of our stainless steel beverage tubs. Are you looking for a way for people to take notice? No one can ignore a 6’ inflatable Jayhawk. Visit our website to check out photos of available items and fill out an event support request form to reserve what you need. You can also request an appearance by our energetic and fun Baby Jay. Loved by adults and kids alike, Baby Jay will kick your event up a notch. All Baby Jay appearances must have a direct connection to KUSM-W.

Check out our latest issue of Embark. Inside you’ll find stories about pediatrics, the Paraguay partnership, student flight, and more. If you would like a hard copy, stop by public affairs or pick one up in the main lobby. We also encourage you to display them in your department or take them to conferences and events. For multiple copies, come by our office or contact us at [email protected].

Thursday, May 25 3 p.m. Time Management Tools: To Do Lists, Calendars and Smartphones, and More It seems that more than ever, people are living busy, chaotic lives that often leave them feeling overwhelmed and out of control. Between work, parental responsibilities, community involvement, exercise, hobbies, friendships, family responsibilities and more, sometimes it feels as if keeping track of it all is just impossible. Fortunately, there are many tools available to help people gain control, though sometimes sorting through what's available can add what seems like even more chaos to life. Smartphones, day planners, alarms, email systems, priority grids, voice mail systems, note pads, to-do lists, contact lists, address books, folders, file cabinets and more. The purpose of this lunch-and-learn is to help you sort through the tools available to help you organize your life, and pick the ones that will work for you. REGISTER NOW

To participate in National Electrical Safety Month, take a moment to evaluate your workspace and home for electrical hazards. As you look around, take note of what items are plugged into power strips, surge protectors, and extension cords. Take special note of high-wattage appliances such as microwaves, refrigerators, and space heaters-are they plugged directly into a wall outlet? You can greatly reduce the risk of electrical fire by following these general safety tips:

Do not use cords that are frayed, cracked, or cut—don’t forget to check battery charger cords.

Avoid running cords under furniture, carpets and mats, and across doorways.

Plug appliances directly into wall outlets.

To avoid overloading, only plug in one high-wattage item or appliance into a receptacle.

Place lamps and other electrical devices on level surfaces, away from items that can burn

(clothing, papers, decorations, etc.).

Make sure electrical items are certified by a national recognized testing lab such as

Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL).

Do not coil or pinch power cords when in use.

Do not daisy-chain cords (see photo at right).

Unplug electrical devices and small appliances when not in

use. Turn them off before unplugging.

Never remove the ground pin (third prong) to force a three-

prong plug to fit into a two-prong outlet; this can cause shock.

Never force a plug into an outlet. Plugs should fit security into

an outlet, but should not require much force.

Follow space heater safety procedures. Extension cords are for temporary use only. Extended use can cause the insulation to deteriorate and cause shock or fire. Ensure extension cords are rated for the intended use and meet the power needs of the item(s) being plugged in. Power strips and surge protectors increase access to the amount of electricity offered by the circuit they are plugged into, but do not provide extra power.

Know the capacity of the circuit and devices you are

plugging into the outlet.

Know the capacity of the other items plugged in to

prevent overloading the circuit. Many of the safety tips above are requirements of the National Electric Code and need to be followed for your safety and the safety of others, both at home and at work.

For more information contact emergency management at 293-3409 or email at [email protected].
