We all Manager, Clemson University should use this time to build those relationships with staff and NACC Treasurer volunteers. In the long run it will help when sports start back, they will be more willing to help or work for you because you did take that time The definition of normalcy is “the quality or condition of being and check on them and their families. normal, as the general economic, political, and social conditions of a nation; normality.” In concessions words, sports and fans at our athletic events means normalcy. As we all know full stadiums and arenas are in the past for now. So how do we cope in this new normalcy you ask? Remember the big picture of things as we all begin fall/winter sports. You may be stressed on the inside, but you need to portray that happy cheerleader to not just your staff but also your vendors and non-profit volunteers. Non-Profit groups are essential to our business. Here at Clemson we are looking out for those groups working football and helping this year. We are raising the percentage they get back this year and raised the minimums so they will reflect a three-year average.

The REA will increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting all areas, such as restrooms, concourses, lobbies, concession stands, locker rooms, dressing rooms, concession stands, ticket windows, Sioux Shop and any other high traffic areas. High-frequency touch points such as handrails, door handles, push bars, knobs, elevator buttons, high top tables, and other frequent touch points will be cleaned before, during, and after events employing appropriate cleaning and disinfection protocols and products. All staff will be subject to temperature checks before accessing the venue. All health screenings will be performed in compliance with the current recommendations compliant with local, state, federal and CDC guidelines. These recommendations are subject to change.

The University of North Dakota is one of 11 colleges and universities comprising the North Dakota University System. The AVPPS reports directly to the vice president for finance and operations and joins other UND Division of Finance & Operations leadership to implement financial and operational priorities in support of shared campus goals. Further, the AVPPS has a commitment to people and building trust among faculty, staff, and students as a community partner.
