Companies, groups and organizations constantly search for ways to improve their communications, and the ideas and strategies are numerous.
In fact, a recent Google search of “communications strategy template” returned 722,000 responses.
Max Michael, M.D., has unveiled an idea that is likely not among those — but it may be one day.
Michael, dean of the School of Public Health, recently had two blackboards installed in the lobby of the Ryals Building to encourage communication among faculty, staff and students on issues ranging from building management to public health.
Michael says his school faces the same challenges as others when it comes to communication. Many people, he says, are tired of newsletters and e-mails. Michael thought the blackboards would be a unique way for people to give and receive information.
Many of the comments have been about procedures or special requests. One person asked if the school could purchase and install covered bicycle racks, a request Michael says is reasonable. He is looking into the possibilities.
Other posts have asked about healthier foods in vending machines, temperature settings in the building, internship possibilities and funding opportunities for students.
