Paper
The Resource Room has multiple colors of construction paper, neon printer paper, and butcher paper available for flyers, door decs, or advertisements.
It is incredibly important to the Residence Life & Education staff that we are conscious of our use of paper. Please be sure to recycle as much as possible and to take advantage of the scrap pieces of paper available in the Resource Room.
If you have suggestions on colors to get or have an event approaching where you will need more construction paper than is typical, let the staff know so we can have an adequate supply.
Printing
Our printers:
- Black and white printer (P2015dn)
- Color printer—No more than 10 copies per person, per visit
Use University Print Shop for large print jobs and other services. This will be taken out of the hall programming budget. The University Print Shop may send your item to Copy Cats if they choose.
