Programming Resource Center

	Welcome to the virtual tour of the PRC. There is so much in such a small space that it can be a little overwhelming when you visit for the first time. Hopefully this tour will help ease your fears and make the PRC more accessible to you. This is what you'll see the first time you enter the doors. This is the PA desk where you can sign in and of course always come to if you need help with anything in the PRC. If you can't find something, ask us, we know where it is. If you need help with the computers, ask us, we can fix anything.
Immediately to your right when you enter the door is the stencil area. This is the perfect place to get the decorations and letters for your bulletin boards. We have over 180 stencils to choose from all the way from an airplane to the Wren Building. We also have poster board in this area. The entire spectrum of colors is represented here so take a look and see what you can find. Poster board is always great for those big announcements you need to make.
	Need to make some flyers? Want to put your graphic design skills to the test? Our computers can help you do just that. These computers are loaded with software to help you connect with your residents in new and amazing ways. RAs have found our computers, full of amazing software, to be an excellent tool for their projects. This software includes: • Microsoft Publisher • Macromedia Dreamweaver • Photofont Maker • Big Box of Art
Feeling crafty? Our craft table, located just past the computers on the right, offers a variety of supplies to make just about anything you can imagine! Some of the supplies include feathers, pipecleaners, doilies, wooden sticks, and SO much more! Each drawer is clearly labeled with its contents, and the table top is stock with essential tools like scissors, staplers, and rulers.
	On the opposite side of the room is a very diverse section of the PRC. We have three paper cutters, a button-making machine (it is very cool but complicated to use at first, so ask a PA for help!), and small hot and cold laminators. Our small cold laminator also converts to an adhesive machine which lets you turn any piece of paper into a sticker! In the drawers below the countertop are a variety of colored poster boards, premade calendars, and tissue paper.
We love glitter! In fact, it's so special that it has its very own table, just past the cutting tables on the left. Not to mention the fact that it is extremely messy so it needs to be kept in one spot! The glitter table offers all of your glittering needs, from sprinkle glitter (varying colors) with spray adhesive to glitter glue gel. We ask that you keep all of your glittering at this table so that it's easier to clean up. Want to make something stand out? Add glitter!
	A rainbow of selection: The PRC offers a huge variety of colors in ribbed bordette (both plain and shiny), computer paper, and construction paper. We also offter the longer legal-length computer paper for larger documents. You can find these shelves right past the glitter table on the left. Be careful reaching the top!
Right across from the paper and bordette shelves is the copier (black and white only) and several important drawers. You can find a variety of "kindergarten" supplies in these drawers such as play-doh, crayons, and coloring books. You can also find velcro, yarn, specialty paper, fabric, and whole lot more! All the drawers are clearly labeled with their contents. On top of the drawers are several hole punchers and a binder containing all the sizes of every bulletin board on campus.
	Keep going towards the back section of the PRC and you'll find large filing cabinets on your left. These cabinets contain one of the best features the PRC has to offer: Bulletin Boards in a Bag and Programs at Your Fingertips! Bulletin Boards in a Bag have everything you need to create a board except background paper and bordette. Most Programs at Your Fingertips require nothing except what is in the bag and items available in the PRC. Both cabinets have a comprehensive list of board/program topics offered and where to find them in the cabinet. Boards and programs are available for checkout for up to one month. Come see all the fun topics we've got!
Gluing is another activity that can be quite messy! The glue station in the back of the PRC has a variety of gluing choices, from glue sticks to Elmer's glue to hot glue gons. We even have glittery glue gun sticks available! Please keep all of your gluing to this table- we don't want the other tables to get sticky! You'll find this table just across from the file cabinets.
	Finally, we have the two large laminators located in the very back of the PRC. The one on the left is hot and the one on the right is cold. Also back here are the binding machine, the helium tank (that's right, you can get balloons here!), and large plain-colored background paper. If you have any questions about anything in the PRC, please don't hesitate to ask a PA: we're here to help you. Hope you enjoyed the tour- come on in and visit us!
