Signage

Relavant objectives:

Objective 1: Use news media, social media, signage, event planning and anything other campus-wide means to publicize the tobacco-free campus policy and affirm it is in effect.

Summary

One of the first things I did this semester with this project was push to get signs placed on the interior of campus. Big and small signs were donated to the school. The big signs were placed by the entrances to campus, and the small signs were meant for the interior but were not put up yet. I contacted the campus services director a was told the facilities planning director would get a reminder. I also followed up with the facilities planning director, and within a few weeks the signs were placed.

Artifact A

Most of the signs were placed on buildings. Many of the signs replaced the old Utah Indoor Clean Air Act signs, but some of those are still around, which shouldn't be an issue because it's still a state law and would be enforced differently if violated. I was told the new signs were placed on buildings because they placing a bunch of new poles around campus was expensive and not necessarily practical.

The signage isn't perfect, but I think it is adequate. The places they put the signs on buildings can be noticed if you are just walking by. I can't take very much credit for the signs because they were already donated and I didn't help place them, even though I offered to, but I think following up on them got them placed on campus faster. The signs are a good way to communicate the policy is official.
