drastically wants to expand upon, but the needs of the
department must come first. Through conversations
with Kimmel staff members, here are some key items
to know that your fellow staff members want and will
work with you to counter these limitations:
Members: At least eight staff members haveMore Staff
mentioned that they wish that there was a way to add more staff
members to the Kimmel Student Involvement Center. Make sure
that programming efforts are budget conscious and you
are working with your direct supervisor to combat budget
concerns that may appear.
Policy Changes To Students Easier: You will realizeGetting
quickly that students care deeply about the programs they are
trying toput on for their members or the student body in general.
With this in mind, the Kimmel is very policy heavy with things we
can and cannot do. Make sure that when you are working with
students that you understand what they are trying to
accomplish and what policies they may encounter along the
planning process.
Transparency: While, as a graduate assistant, you
may be privileged to sensitive information within your
position, it is important to make sure that your respective student
groups are aware of what is going on in the Kimmel so their
operations can follow accordingly.
“Start where you
are, Use what you
have, Do what you
can” – Arthur Ashe
“It’s hard for us to
do what we need
to do when we
don’t have the
money to do it.”
“We have students who
get upset because they
don’t know that they
can’t do something and
don’t ask questions until
they are very invested in
the process”
“While it might not be
everyone’s inclination to
know everything that’s
going on, I feel like a lot
is kept from the
undergraduates about
the interworking within
the Kimmel.”

Advising 101
This section offers suggestions on how to advise the students you are
assigned to through your position.
“Goodadvisingmaybethesinglemost
underestimatedcharacteristicofasuccessful
collegeexperience.”–R.J.Light
s advisors, it is important to be intrusive without intruding, and be warm,
friendly and inviting while still providing the tough love and information that
students need to hear. It is a delicate balance; though when done right,
intrusive advising can enhance the advising relationship while also encouraging
student responsibility and participation. What, then, is intrusive advising and how do we
practice it without intruding? Advisors can use several techniques to provide intrusive
advising services without intruding or being overbearing.
Step 1: Begin Building Relationships on Day 1
There are usually numerous campus activities advisors can be a part of during the first
few weeks of the semester. By being active on campus during New Student Orientation
or other welcome week activities, advisors get the opportunity to meet and mingle with
students. This is a great way to build relationships and get to know students outside of
the office.
Advisors should also consider emailing students early in the
semester to provide an introduction and spell out
advisee/advisor expectations and responsibilities in the advising
process. Students should be encouraged to reply with their own
introduction. Do notwait for advisees to make the first contact;
it might not happen. Be proactive and reach out to advisees
early in the year. Not all students will respond but it begins
fostering a relationship with those who do.
Section
2

“Students don’t
care how much
you know until
they know how
much you care.”
– J. Maxwell

19
Advisors should continue to be involved and attend campus activities. Contact with
faculty and staff outside the classroom is a researched best practice and retention
tool. Most campuses offernumerous opportunities, whether it is residence hall activities,
sporting events, or student award ceremonies. An advisor’s presence at these events will
be noticed and appreciated by students.
Step 2: Be Prepared for Advising Appointments
Being prepared may be one of the most important steps to practicing advising. Advisees
will feel more welcome if we ensure we are prepared for the appointment:
 First, make sure the office and desk area is warm and inviting. Put away any
other projects before the student arrives. This gives students the impression
nothing is more important than they are.
 Second, review the student’s past advising history (if there is one) including
advising notes, early alerts, and current dates that they should be aware of. This
step will allow the advisor to ask important follow-up questions and have an
understanding of the student’s goals before s/he arrives.
 Last, make sure to schedule plenty of time for each advising appointment.
Otherwise, the student may feel rushed through the process.
Step 3: Ask Questions and Make Appropriate Referrals
The more an advisor knows about his or her students, the more personal and specific
the referrals will be. Advisors should ask pointed and detailed questions to really get to
know their students and make a connection. Use open-ended questions that solicit
detailed responses requiring more than simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. Students do not
mind if we ask about their personal lives if they understand the purpose behind the
question. Building relationships with students is great, but the next step is to use the
information to connect students with useful and appropriate resources. Use information
gleaned from advisees to make referrals to campus resources for which the student
qualifies and can benefit. For this reason, it is essential that advisors be aware of all
campus student services and partners.
Step 4: Maintain Regular Contact with Advisees
Advising should not be something that only occurs once a semester. Maintain regular,
ongoing contact with students by sending emails; follow up regarding their questions;
and use social media to your advantage. All of these practices will help build and foster
strong relationships with advisees which allow advisors the opportunity to be intrusive
without intruding.
Intrusive advising can and should be a system which focuses on bringing campus services to the student,
rather than passively waiting for the student to identify their own needs and search for solutions. It is not
a means of intruding where we are not wanted. When done well, intrusive advising models lead to
greater retention and student success in college. By employing a few simple techniques, advisors can ensure
the relationship is positive and welcomed by both parties.

Kimmel Front Desk
This section offers insight into some of the main operations that the
front desk tends to. Of course, it is hard to cover everything that the
front desk will handle due to the spontaneous nature of questions.
This means you should always ask questions if something comes
up that is questionable or unknown to you.
Kimmel Student Involvement Center Front Desk
RULES OF THE BINDERS & FILE CABINET
-Places to look when trying to figure something out: Binders (organized by name),
Standing Paper Flipper (to the right of the computer), File Cabinet (what the date
stamper sits on)
-Binders – The binders are where documents get FILED. They are organized by type
and are pretty self-explanatory. If someone asks to see a document that was turned in
that same day, or within the past couple days, it MAY NOT be filed in the binders yet.
In that case, look in the “Inbox” of the file cabinet.
-Standing Paper Flipper – This thing holds a lot of phone numbers, building maps, and
phone instructions.
-File Cabinet – The top drawer is where we keep all of our forms. If you help
someone and get a form signed, you ALWAYS want to make a copy. If it is a
scheduling request that has to go upstairs to Event Services (ballroom/anything
involving money) they get the original and we keep the copy. If it is an SSC room that
we schedule for them, we keep the original and they get the copy. Any advertising
forms such as Pepsi banner, chalking or staking, we keep the original. You will see a
green file labeled “Inbox” this is where those forms go. You will put the paper in its
file within that “Inbox” category.
-The very first green file is our “special” file. These are forms that we are currently
taking at the moment, such as Student Org Fair, etc. Second is inbox as I explained
above. Third is Pepsi Banners – To Do. This is the file we look at when it comes to
what needs to be pulled. DO NOT PUT PEPSI BANNER FORMS IN THE
INBOX TAB. WE WILL ASSUME IT HAS BEEN PULLED AND FILE IT.
Behind that, we have Petitioning Student Organization Paperwork. This file has an
information sheet on the front of it. Behind that, you don’t really need to know. It is
Section
4

30
copies of all of our forms, different programs we host, etc. Just focus on the ones I
have explained above.
RULES OF THE PHONE
How to answer the phone: “Thank you for calling the Kimmel Student Involvement
Center. This is ____. How can I help you?”
We get A LOT of calls for staff from people that they DO NOT want to talk to! (For
example, people who want us to book them, advertising agencies, students with
questions we can answer, etc.) NEVER transfer a call to a staff member without
confirming with them that this person is someone they WANT to talk to. ALWAYS

31
ask someone who calls and requests to talk to a staff member WHAT they are calling
about and if it is a question that you can possibly answer.
Here are some examples:
“Thank you for calling the Kimmel Student Involvement Center. This is Courtney,
how can I help you?”
“This is Bob Smith. I need to talk to Michelle Welter about Block Party right now.”
“Okay, is it a general question maybe I could answer for you?”
“No. Let me talk to her.”
“Let me see if she is available. One second.”
**Hit transfer, then Michelle’s NAME (DO NOT HIT THE NUMBER ACROSS
FROM THE NAME! NAME ONLY)
Scenario 1: Michelle picks up
“Yes?”
“Hey I have Bob Smith on the phone he wants to talk about Block Party.”
“Great. Send him through.”
“Okay here he is.”
**Hit transfer again, then hang up.
Scenario 2: Michelle picks up
“Yes?”
“Hey I have Bob Smith on the phone he wants to talk about Block Party.”
“I’m too busy for him right now. Put him in voicemail. I’ll call him back later.”
“Okay great.”
**Now, hit the button that says 2686. You are now talking to Bob Smith again. Vital
point…THIS IS WHEN YOU LIE ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE. MAKE
IT BELIEVEABLE!!!
“Okay Michelle actually in a meeting right now. Would you like for me to put you
through to her voicemail?
“When will she be back?”
THIS IS WHEN YOU LIE AGAIN AND MAKE UP A TIME.
“I’m not sure exactly. Hopefully in the next hour or so.”
“Yeah, just put me through to her voicemail.”
“Okay here you go.”
Hit Transfer, Michelle’s name, and then transfer again. Michelle now knows NOT to
answer because it is Bob Smith she doesn’t want to talk to. She will let it ring until her
voicemail picks it up and he will leave a message.
Scenario 3: Michelle is not in her office
*phone rings and she never picks up*
*hit 2686 to be talking to Bob Smith.
“I’m sorry Michelle actually isn’t picking up right now. She must be in a meeting.
Would you like me to put you through to her voicemail?”
“Yes.”
“Okay here you go.”

32
*Hit transfer, Michelle’s name, transfer again, and then hang up.
**Sometimes people call and need another office. You can look at the quick glance list
of extensions on the first page of the Standing Paper Flipper to the right of the
computer.
Example:
“Thank you for calling the Kimmel Student Involvement Center, this is Courtney, how
can I help you?”
“Hi…oh sorry I meant to call Admissions. Can you transfer me?”
“Sure….one second.” *quickly look up extension*
*Hit transfer, type in 3705, then hit transfer again. Then hang up.
RULES OF WALK INS
A huge majority of the time, people who walk in will say the NEED to talk to a certain
staff member. They actually don’t. Always try to solve whatever question it is they
have first. If you can’t solve their problem and you know the staff member is in their
office, WALK back and see if they want to talk to the person. Always get a name
before you walk back. Then, if they want to talk to them you can send them back to
their office, they might come up front, or you might just say he/she is in a meeting and
give them their business card (located on the top right of the front desk) and tell them
to email them.
If someone wants to set up an appointment with any staff member, just give them their
business card and ask them to email them.
When someone is in person and I’m not sure if the staff member wants to talk to
them, I NEVER use the phone, because then you have to explain who it is, what they
want, and then it gets awkward if they say no they don’t want to talk to them because
they are standing right in front of you listening to the whole conversation. Always get
up and walk back and ask!
Most staff will tell you if they are expecting a student. When that student they are
expecting shows up, you can call the staff member and let them know in that scenario.
Scheduling in the Morris University Center & Other Academic Buildings:
-Use the Scheduling timetable to see if there is enough time to schedule the
request. Do NOT send anyone upstairs with a request that is less than 2 days!
-When forms are signed off you need to make 2 copies. Kimmel keeps a set of
copies, the student gets a set of copies for their records and Event Services gets
the original copy to schedule.
(If there is a solicitation form the student would get the original of that and
Kimmel/Event Services get the copies)
-Let students know if they are requesting multiple dates to pay attention to their
confirmation and make sure it’s correct. Event Services doesn’t always let
students know when they didn’t have space available.

33
** Reminder: Campus Recreation and University Housing we no longer schedule.
They need to report to those respected places to get it scheduled. There is no form
we need in this office for that anymore.

Flyer Approvals:
So, here is what we would like to happen:
-If you have any questions about whether a flyer should be approved or not, bring
it to either me or Kelly Jo.
-When you approve flyers, you should be keeping a copy (or making a copy) for
our files. When you do that, please DATE stamp (not the approval stamp, but the
date stamp that you stick the paper in that puts the current date/time on it) the
flyer and then initial it so we know who took it. This will allow us to address any
potential issues with that person directly.
-The copy of the flyer should be stuck in the hanging folder behind the front desk
in the “in box” of the credenza…there is a file specifically for flyers.
-Off-campus flyers: A vendor wants to post inside of building – send to Vice
Chancellor of Administrations Office, Rendleman Hall, 2nd
Floor. Get approved
(stamped on back) original flyer and KEEP THAT COPY. Stamp the rest of the
flyers with the Kimmel stamp. Be sure to date-stamp and initial the back of the
flier that we keep and file it in the appropriate binder.
Bake Sale/Information Tables:
We are responsible for booking tables for the use of bake sale/info table in Peck,
Founders, Alumni, and Science. If they want a bake sale, it must be a scheduling
form and solicitation form, both signed by their fiscal adviser. If they want the
table for use as an info table, they ONLY need the scheduling request form. You
would then put them down in the Bake Sale Binder as having the table reserved
for that day.
Student group projects (with professor signature), student organizations (with
adviser signature), AND departments will book bake sales/info tables. We are the
one who books these bake sales/info tables in our binder (NOT event services).
However, Peck Hall is the only building that leaves the tables out.
**Sometimes tables are left out and sometimes they aren't. So, if you schedule a bake
sale for any other building, please call Mark at ext. 2067 to request a table. If he doesn't
answer, please call Debbie at Ext. 3711. This information will also be left at the front
desk.

The following information is for knowledge and to help you better understand the
process/policies for SIUE/CAB on negotiating and handling contracts. Hopefully
this information will help you successfully talk with agents and deal with
negotiating in an effective manner.
What is a Contract?
A contract is a written performance agreement between an artist and the
sponsoring organization that specifies the complete details and obligations of both
the artist and the sponsor. A contract has two parts to it:
The FACE part of the contract spells out broadly applied terms of agreement (i.e.
time, place) and is commonly referred to as the contract. It is designed to be a
generic, legal document that outlines the basic parameters by both parties.
The second part is called the RIDER. The RIDER is usually a separate
document that specifically outlines the contractual obligations. The RIDER will
usually include the technical requirements, hospitality requirements, and
other requests by the performer. Many of these items can be negotiable.
*SIUE hints: Artists will want to send you their contract, however, SIUE uses
their own and you need to tell the artist that we will send one to them instead.
SIUE does not use outside agency contracts. You do need to have the artist send
or fax their RIDER to you. Once received you and your adviser need to go over
it, correct it according to your budget, and return a copy to the artist. When
correcting a rider, simply cross out the item with one line and initial the correction.
STEP ONE: THE PHONE CALL- DEALING WITH AGENTS
DO’S and DON’Ts
1. State your position – What are your intentions?
a. Shopping?
b. Looking for a specific type of program?
c. Requesting information?
2. Be assertive! Never accept the first offer. Bargain with the agent. Be firm!
You are the buyer! They want our business!
3. Always get travel costs inclusive of the program fee.
a. Ex: “Sounds good, what is his/her fee inclusive of travel?”
4. Don’t make any firm verbal commitments during the initial call (verbal
agreements can be considered legally binding contracts).
5. Don’t tell the agent your budget. Tell him/her a great deal lower, or ask
for their current performance fee range.
6. Do you know the dates you are looking into? Check the campus calendar
for conflicts.
7. Do not say YES over the phone, as this can be interpreted as committing
to a contract.

38
8. You can ask the agent to hold the date, but make sure that he/ she knows
it is not definite and that you have to have approval from the group/
committee an have you budget approved by the board.
9. Follow up on your original phone call. Keep the agent informed of the
group’s process. Be professional – don’t “leave ‘em hanging’” For
example, say something like –“I have decided on something else” or “
maybe next semester” or “the program has only allotted me ______
amount for this program”.
10. Once your budget has been approved work with your adviser on contracts.
Also, keep your adviser informed of the space you do and do not need in
the building so they can cancel space holds appropriately.
11. Most importantly – Don’t ever be afraid to ask questions! Consult your
adviser for anything you are wondering about!
STEP TWO: NEGOTIATIN G CONTRACTS
The following items you will need to get from the agent in order for us to process
the contract: (Also see the Contract Information Sheet)
 The date, time, location and duration of the performance (include any
breaks)
 The name of the person or agency to which the check is to be paid.
 The social security number of the individual who is to be paid or the
FEIN number of the agency who is to be paid.
 If there is no rider accompanying the contract, please note what other
things we will provide so that those items can be included in the
contract (e.g: hotel room, dinner – consult your budget).
 As if performer is a non-resident alien.
STEP THREE: NEGOTIATING RIDER S
It is expected that artists will put strange requests on riders, asking for a lot and
knowing that they will not get everything they want. Be comfortable in crossing
items based on SIUE’s restrictions or your budget restrictions. The artist is
prepared to receive riders with crossed-off items.
What we pay:
 Hotel room
 On-site meal(s)
 Local travel to and from airport (ALL OTERH TRAVEL IS INCLUSIVE
IN THE PROGRAM FEE)
What we don’t pay:
 Air Travel/mileage
 Artist’s expenses while in town

39
Items to cross off:
 Alcohol
 Percentages of gross income
 Sweatshirts/t-shirts
 Extras for the hotels (we pay room and tax only)
 Cigarettes, ashtrays and/or smoking
 Deposit
 Any products other than Pepsi products
Items to include/be aware of:
 Provide directions if needed
 Provide information about hotel
 SIUE receives 10% of all sales associated with the event
 Make travel inclusive of the program fee
 Remember any recording of an event must have the artist’s approval prior
to the performance
STEP FOUR: PROCESSIN G AND PAYMENT
Once the contract is signed and returned by the artist, the secretary will process
the check so that the performer will get the check on the day of the performance.
Be aware that once the contract and forms are signed and returned from the artist,
it takes at least 10 days to process. As a result it is crucial that you submit the
contract information sheet to the secretary so she can send the packet to the artist
at least 30 days prior to the performance. If the contract information is not
submitted by 30 days before the performance, a timely payment cannot be
guaranteed.
Promoting You Event:
Consider This…
1) Visibility!
-Get the word out!!! Use flyers, voices, board signs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. People
should not be able to go somewhere without knowing about the event.
-Target the audience you are trying to reach—mail things to families, utilize
housing
2) Simplicity!
-Messages should all be short, understandable, simple, and include all important,
accurate information.
-Give specific date, time, and location (avoid using “today” or “tomorrow”)
3) Language
-EVERYONE in your target audience should be able to understand your message
-Make it catchy and clear without using acronyms!
4) Repetition
-It takes seven times to remember something so do your publicity in waves over
and over again!
-Use several types of media

40
5) Reputation
-Every promotion of your committee’s event is a promotion for CAB
-Make sure your publicity is a positive image for CAB and SIUE
Best Methods of Promotion:
Don’t forget that good publicity takes hard work and time! Use information
tables, word of mouth, personal invitations and other methods such as:
-Flyers -Involvement@SIUE
-Electronic signs -CAB Webpage
-Chalking -Tables
-Staking -Sandwich Boards
-Pepsi banners -Social Media (Facebook,
-List servs Twitter, Instagram)
Tips to Having a Well-Promoted Event:
-Be creative!
-Know the posting regulations and other deadlines!
-Get materials up in a timely manner!
-Use several different types of promotion!
-Don’t cover up other group’s information!
-Utilize the student organizations list serv and mailboxes in the Kimmel!
Committee Meetings 101:
Prior to meeting:
Send regular communication to your committee!
-You should send them a “welcome” message when they join, you should send them
“hey how are you” messages when you have NO meetings—you can share info with
them that you learn during our CAB leadership meetings, you should send them CLEAR
meeting information including date, time, location, and items to be discussed during the
meeting(the agenda).
-You should find out what method of communication works best for your committee
and YOU! (Group text, GroupMe, Facebook groups, email, etc)
During the meeting:
-Make the meeting your own!
**Your meetings should be a reflection of YOU! If you like jokes, start off each meeting
with a new joke! If you’re into movies, you can start each meeting watching new movie
trailers! If you like crafting, think of fun crafting activities to do with your committee!
This is ESSENTIAL for team building!
-Make the meeting purposeful!
**Have an agenda! An example of items that can be covered:
 Icebreakers
 Craft Time/Team Building
 Updates on Committee Events
 Brainstorming and research for next Committee Event
 Sandwich Board making

41
 Cutting handbills to hand out; handing out handbills in the Quad or an Academic
Building
 Pizza Party celebrations-to reward great work
 Volunteer event training
 Thank-you shout-outs and committee member of the month awards
 Posting flyers around campus for your upcoming events
After the meeting:
-Send meeting recaps (minutes) to those who were unable to make the meeting
-Send THANK YOU’s to all who came (it’s not easy taking time out from a busy
schedule)
-Get feedback on what you can do to improve the next meeting! Your committee will
have tons of great ideas!
Delegation 101:
Imagine an organization in which each member had an equal amount or responsibility,
whether that member is the president, the treasurer, or the member who just joined last
week. Sounds like a dream? Delegation can make such dreams come true. When
delegation is used effectively, you can see drastic changes within your group: higher
retention rates, better quality events, and more free time for yourself! How does one go
about utilizing the magic of delegation? Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to
have a magic wand (or an iron hand) to be successful delegator. You just need to
remember a few tips and practice:
Trust Include Everyone
Teach Don’t Delegate Everything
Leave Them Alone Talk
Be Supportive Give The Gift of Time
Flattery Will Get You Everywhere
Allow Members To Learn To
Answer Their Own Questions
Recognition & Retention:
 Recognition is an important part of success in our country. Sometime we fall
into a trip of pointing out the flaws than to congratulate success. There are four
elements of recognition:
o Acknowledgement, Attention, Feedback, and Praise & Criticism
 Member retention is one of the most overlooked - yet extremely important –
aspects of an organization. Losing group members does not typically occur
because the member has failed the group; rather, the member feels that the
group has failed them.
o Make sure to keep members interested, excited, and feeling responsible
for the success of the organization!

“I think the Kimmel and the graduate assistants
are absolutely priceless and invaluable to SIUE's
success, as well as not only retention of students,
but successful students because of not just the
network that you gain of course, volunteering, but
getting into a community that is like I said, in my
case, version different than your professional
community. It gives you not only an array of skills,
an array of friends, but just a real opportunity to I
think become a very global citizen, very aware of
what's going on in your community as well as
outside communities.”
“I feel like without Kimmel there would be a huge
gap between students and involvement,
scholarships, service, what college gives you. I
think we're the gatekeeper to opportunity in
college. Without us I think it would be really
difficult for students to get the opportunities that
they do.”
