Two Things about Breakout Rooms

  1. Please make sure that you are reserving Breakout Rooms through the room reservations system which you can access at rooms.rice.edu. I know that it is really easy to just find an empty Breakout Room and start working, but this can cause frustration for those who have gone into the system and reserved the space. If you have not reserved the Breakout Room space, you could be asked to vacate the room by someone who has actually booked the space.
  2. Please DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BELONGINGS UNATTENDED. Not in the Breakout Rooms, not in the classrooms, not in the common areas. McNair Hall is a public building and even though it feels like it is a space where you would only find MBA students and you all trust each other, the building is open to the public from 6:00am-10:00pm Monday-Friday. We have had a string of thefts and ask for you to all be more vigilant and not leave your belongings unattended.
