Whiteboards

Overview

Whiteboards play an important role in our learning and collaboration spaces. They help instructors teach, students brainstorm, and groups plan and solve problems together. To keep these resources useful and ready for the next class or meeting, we ask that all community members erase whiteboards fully after use.

Leaving writing behind can delay the next group and creates unnecessary cleanup work for others. A clean board supports an efficient, welcoming, and professional environment for everyone.

What to Do?

Before leaving the room:

• Erase all writing, drawings, and notes

• Use board cleaner (if available) for stubborn marks

• Recap and return markers and erasers to the tray

• Dispose of used tissues or cleaning wipes

Why This Matters?

• Supports learning & collaboration: Ensures the next class or group starts with a clean slate

• Shows respect for shared spaces: We all benefit from a clean, ready-to-use environment

• Protects equipment: Regular erasing prevents ghosting and prolongs whiteboard life

Additional Notes

• Please avoid using permanent markers on whiteboards

• If supplies are missing or a board requires deep cleaning, please submit a ticket so we can address it promptly.
