Logistical Support

Events are a central part of the Center’s work and there are a few components that will assist you in creating a welcoming and successful event to move forward your work whether it’s for an ACE class or a co-curricular project.

Bon Appétit is the College’s catering and dining service provider and is a first stop when ordering foods for events.

You also have the option of ordering from any number of local restaurants or food providers.

PEPS (Presentation, Events, and Production Support)

Assistance with projection technology, video conferencing, recording both audio and visual, and other technology support is available through PEPS.

Room Reservations

Space reservations are needed for all types of spaces on campus: classrooms, meeting rooms, and event spaces.

Sometimes, you will need to reserve the most-sought-after spaces many months in advance. If you will be using video conferencing during your event, you can book a room with this equipment. If such a room is not available, the necessary equipment can be set up by PEPs.

Please have all non-Carleton participants fill out a Media Release form if you are planning on taking and using pictures from your event on any Carleton or CCCE platforms. All completed forms should be filled out and returned to Melissa Thomas. If using pictures from or publicizing events with community partners, it may also be beneficial to read through the document on ethical storytelling/publicity from the Minnesota Campus Compact.

There are several ways that information and communication about ACE course, co-curricular events, cohort activities, office events, and news can be shared on campus and in the community. Every cohort will have a person who will handle publicity for their group.

There are two ways for Fellows/Program Directors to make purchases for cohort or program supplies and for office snacks and other standard purchases.

This form needs to be completed and returned to the CCCE prior to participation in any activity. Please check with the Operations Coordinator if you need further instruction on this.
Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement

Guidelines for Reporting Cases of Child Abuse and Neglect

1. This process is automated in WorkDay (go.carleton.edu/WorkDay)
2. If they are already in the system as a Supplier, we don’t need to request a W-9.
3. If they are not in the system, a W-9 Request needs to be sent to the vendor. (see #5 below)
4. If the person is coming in on a contracted basis for special work and is not a Carleton employee, an independent contractor form must be completed. The person negotiating the contract should complete this form. This goes to HR and you will receive notification when and if it has been approved.
5. You must send out this link for the vendor to submit information for a W-9. Once the vendor completes this you will receive notice and the payment in WorkDay can move forward.
6. If it is an outside supplier/contractor, before a payment request can be submitted, the independent contractor form must also be completed and approved by HR.
7. Additionally, the supplier can request to have payments made via direct deposit rather than have to wait for a paper check (Carleton’s preferred method). The Accounts Payable Department will send a direct deposit form to the supplier so confidential payment information can be shared with the business office.
8. This can take 7-10 days to process.
9. If there are any questions about this, contact accountspayable@carleton.edu.

The business office offers options that may be helpful in paying community knowledge holders. Review the information on this page for policies on:

• Honorariums and Donations in Lieu of Honorariums
• Amazon Gift Cards

Tokens of Appreciation

• College gifts policy.
• Small tangible tokens of appreciation to non-employees can be appropriate
• Example: showing appreciation to community speakers with a mug
• Typically one or the other is given (honorarium OR token of appreciation, not both)
• When listing the expense on a purchasing card, note the following: Token Gift, recipient’s name, note that it is for a partner, the purpose, and that it’s not going to an employee.

Training

All Fellows have a training overview at the beginning of the term when they start. Here is the presentation with live links in case anyone wants to go back and have a refresher.

Working with Minors. You can access this course at the United Educators Website.

Log in or create an account. If this is your first training you will be asked to register and create an account. Scroll the “My Courses” bar to find the applicable modules. You only need to complete this course once during your time at Carleton.

Sexual Misconduct Training for Peer Leaders with Laura Riehle-Merrill. Here’s the link to the online training video. It’s 47 minutes long.

Vulnerable Adults Training. This course is provided by the Minnesota Department of Human Services that takes about an hour to complete. It covers the relevant laws and some example scenarios, and there’s a quiz at the end that you need to pass in order to get a certificate.

Work Forms

Both of these forms must be completed before any work-study position can begin. You will need to schedule a time to meet with Human Resources (HR) staff (either online or in-person) for a short 15-minute meeting.

Either download or pick up form in the HR Office, complete, meet with a HR staff member, and return the completed, signed paper copy to the HR Office at Carleton College (can be mailed in). Be sure to leave enough time to schedule your meeting with HR to allow plenty of time prior to your return to work.

• W-4 Form
• I-9 Form
