CAREER EXPLORATIONS CONFERENCE Pre-Conference Notes On campus early or staying later?
Cornell Plantations – A great place to relax on a summer
Here are some fun places and popular sites to see. Visit www.cornell.edu/visit to explore more!
afternoon, the Plantations offers trails throughout the gorges and among flower gardens. Most easily accessed from the path behind Mann Library and Fernow Hall, the summer gardens and Arboretum are a favorite with Cornell Students. Stop by the Nevin Welcome Center to learn more about the Plantations! www.plantations.cornell.edu for more information.
Walking Tours (on campus) – Monday-Friday 9:00
a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., available online at www.cornell.edu/visiting/#tours All tours leave from Information/Referral Center in the Day Hall lobby and last 1 hour and 15 minutes. They’re free to the public, but an appointment needs to be scheduled 2 weeks in advance.
Beebe Lake – Take a short nature hike through campus, to
see beautiful waterfalls. This trail goes around the lake and is accessible by the Plantations or the back path behind MVR.
McGraw Tower (the Clock Tower) – Probably the most
noted landmark on campus at Cornell, McGraw Tower has 21 chimes, which play three times throughout the day. Climbing 161 stairs to the top is definitely a great experience!
Beauty and Brains – Starting at Bailey Plaza, take a stroll to the AD White Gardens, down to Uris Garden and over to the 2nd floor of Uris Hall. Smell the flowers, gaze at the fine (and not so fine) architecture, and view the brains of geniuses and criminals.
Sage Chapel – Built in 1873, this chapel was designed by Charles Babcock, Cornell’s first professor of Architecture. The intricate decorations and design of Sage Chapel is breathtaking!
Cornell Dairy Bar – The Dairy Bar at Stocking Hall is
stocked with all your favorite flavors of Cornell ice cream. Enjoy an ice cream cone and take a stroll outside of the plant. You might even be able to watch them making your dessert!
The Arts Quad – Many Cornell students enjoy warm
summer days walking though and/or studying in this safe haven. It is home to the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. While you’re there be sure to check out the Whispering Wall near Goldwin-Smith, say “hi” to Uncle Ezra and A.D. White, and see the Libe Slope Overlook behind McGraw Tower.
Johnson Museum of Art –To learn more visit www.museum. cornell.edu
Admissions Offices

Ho Plaza – Ho Plaza is Cornell’s town square and home
to the Cornell Store. It is here that Cornell students make their voices heard and express new ideas. Be sure to stop by Willard Straight to see the Great Hall. See if you can find the carving of the architect’s least favorite professor (Hint: He is picking his nose). The
Musical Sidewalk – is an amusing piece of pavement
situated next to Olin Library on the Arts Quad. It is popular among students, who like skipping rocks over the “pitched” sidewalk or enjoying a book on a sunny bench.

You will need to pick up a parking permit and return it to the vehicle. - Only one Chaperone should come to the check-in table. Youth should remain with the vehicle. - A Focus Assistant (FA) will greet you on your way in. • What to bring Inside - Your County should have already submitted Codes of Conduct and Permission Slips electronically, so you shouldn’t have to bring anything - If these forms have not been sent in online, please bring them to the Check-In desk (each set in alphabetical order by last name): • 2 copies of the Permission Slips for each your County’s participants. • 1 copy of the Code of Conduct for each of your County’s participants - Please note: A County Chaperone should retain a set of Permission Slips for your County and each participant should carry a copy of their own form, just in case. • You will be given a packet for your County that includes: - 4-H Career Exploration Delegate Handbooks and name tags - Room assignments/keys/meal tickets (you will get this from Conference Services) - T-shirts and water bottles - Parking permits (Note: Official vehicles don’t need parking permits) After Check-In After receiving the Check-In packet, the Chaperone should return to the County vehicle(s) and have a brief County meeting including the following: • A review of the program rules and regulations • Hand out program schedules, name tags, meal cards, and keys – count your meal cards – don’t lose! • Inform youth of room assignments (only adults should have access to outside doors) • Inform youth where the Chaperone rooms are located • Set a time to meet at the designated regrouping area after unpacking, and place to meet before dinner When the Check-In materials have been distributed to participants, unload your vehicles, and park in the CC parking lot before finding your rooms and unpacking. Prepare your group for the first activities of the Conference:

Finding Your Rooms Signs will be available to help direct people in the dorms. Conference Services has made every effort to set up the room assignments in County blocks. If you have any concerns about room assignments, please speak with the Conference Services Staff.
5
Walking on Campus Walking is the primary form of transportation to activities. Any other necessary transportation will be arranged by the program you are attending. If you have any mobility restrictions that prevent you from walking, please call the State 4-H Office at least 3 weeks advance of the program. In the event of a thunderstorm, or if other transportation needs arise, participants may ride the TCAT buses which travel on campus, at their own expense ($1.50 one way—remember to have cash on hand). Buses come about every 10 minutes. Most participants will need to catch the TCAT 81 bus that travels through campus and to the RPCC area. Youth should discuss this with their Chaperones in advance of using the bus system.
Safety during the Conference Cornell is a large campus with many different summer activities. Serious crimes can and do occur along the footpaths of Cornell, despite the idyllic setting. A caution to all: • NEVER walk alone, especially after dark! • Dorm room doors should be locked at all times – always have your keys with you! If you get locked out of your room, call (607) 255-2288 • Under no circumstances should youth leave the dorm at night and should never be alone on campus • Chaperones need to be in attendance for all programs, assemblies, free-time activities, County meetings, and on call all night • During free-time activities, if County participants split up, a Chaperone must accompany each of the groups (any Chaperone). Dorms are off limits during the day, except with a Chaperone • All participants must be back in their dorms by 10 PM. Lights out at 11 PM Importance of Nametags All 4-H Career Exploration participants must wear their identification nametag around their necks throughout the event. The nametags will enable participants to seek emergency care or assistance throughout campus, enter the dining hall, and allow 4-H Staff and Cornell program presenters to identify Conference participants. Reporting Incidents and Illnesses Report any illness, accident, or incident to an adult Chaperone immediately. Please follow the NYS 4-H Crisis Action Plan and Career Explorations Communication Tree (shared with Chaperones at Chaperone Orientation) to report these incidents to event leadership. Contact Numbers NYS 4-H office (daytime): (607) 255-7516 Nurse: Pam Driscoll – on call 7am-noon and 7pm-10pm Campus Police: (607) 255-1111 or use any Blue Light telephone Emergency: 911 Career Explorations Communication Tree: a list of phone numbers will be shared during Chaperone Orientation Health Services phone numbers for help are: Gannett Health Center: (607) 255-5155 non-emergency: Ho Plaza, Campus (8am-4:30pm) CMC Convenient Care Center: (607) 274-4150 non-emergency: 10 Arrowwood Drive (7am–10pm) Five Star Urgent Care: (607) 319-4563 non-emergency 740 S. Meadow Street (8am-8pm) Cayuga Medical Center Hospital Emergency Room: (607) 274-4411 emergency: 101 Dates Drive - off Rt 96 on west side of Cayuga Lake (24/7) Emergency: 911 Gannett does not bill insurance plans; family would be responsible for paying total bill. Convenient Care and Five Star will bill a family’s insurance, but someone would have to pay the co-pay amount at the time of the visit and insurance coverage would depend on plan. If they are Out-of-Network providers it may require a higher patient responsibility; parents can contact their insurance provider for more information about coverage.

Code of Conduct Our first priority is to create a safe, inclusive space for learning, sharing, and collaboration welcoming to people from diverse backgrounds, cultures and perspectives. Diversity includes, but is not limited to: race, color, religion, political beliefs, national or ethnic origin, immigration status, sex, gender, gender identity and expression, transgender status, sexual orientation, age, marital or family status, educational level, learning style, physical appearance, body size, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities. CCE actively supports equal educational and employment opportunities. No person shall be denied admission to any educational program or activity on the basis of any legally prohibited discrimination. CCE is committed to the maintenance of Affirmative Action programs that will assure the continuation of such equality of opportunity. All 4-H Participants—youth, families, volunteers, and Extension staff—in or attending any activity or event sponsored by Cornell University’s Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) 4-H Youth Development Program are required to uphold the values of the NYS 4-H program and conduct themselves according to the New York State 4-H Code of Conduct. The standards also apply to online 4-H activity, including social media internet presence. In addition to these expectations, CCE volunteers are accountable to additional expectations outlined in the CCE Volunteer Code of Conduct. Extension staff is accountable to additional standards of professionalism that are outlined by position descriptions and CCE human resource policies. NYS 4-H Code of Conduct expectations: • Create a Welcoming Environment for All • Bring Your Best Self • Obey the Law • Honor Diversity – Yours and Others’ • Create a Safe Environment • Be a Team Player • Participate Fully • Watch What You Wear • Be a Positive Role Model If you have concerns or questions about these expectations before or during the event, please contact your County Educator or the Event Coordinator.
Cell Phones Please turn off or keep cell phones on silent during programs. Lead Chaperones, University U Group Leaders, and Focus Assistants will have their phones on silent in case of emergency. If you need to make a call during a program because of an emergency, please go out into the hallway or away from the group to not interrupt the program.
The Dorm Chaperones are assigned single-occupancy rooms. Youth are assigned double-occupancy rooms and cannot switch rooms. Note that you are responsible for your belongings. Keep the door to your room locked at all times. Dorm rooms lock behind you when you go out, so have your key with you at all times. If you get locked out of your room, call (607) 255-2288. Only Chaperones will have key cards to get into the dorms, so all youth must be accompanied by an adult to enter the dorm. Participants should hang out in common areas, not dorm rooms. Only youth who are assigned to a room should be in that room. Please use lounges, dining areas, and other designated activity areas to spend time with friends. 7
Check-In Chaperones need to check their delegate’s rooms at the time of arrival and departure. Note any preexisting damage or defective appliances and report these to Conference Services staff. Please also contact conference services if problems arise during the conference (light bulbs burn out, etc.) Damages not reported that are found at the end of the program will be charged to the County occupying the room. Also make note of any room/key changes. Hair dryers should be used in the bathrooms only. Sheets, one pillow and pillowcase, a blanket, a towel, a washcloth, and a bar of soap are provided in each room. Participants will have to supply their own towel for the pool. Check Out: RPCC, Thursday 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM Please have everything out of your rooms before your programs on Thursday. Make sure you double-check your room to ensure that no belongings are left behind. If you don’t have a vehicle to put luggage in on Thursday morning, you can store your belongings in room 220 in RPCC on the second floor. Chaperones should check all rooms for damage and collect all room keys. Any damages not reported to 4-H Career Exploration staff on Tuesday will be charged to the County. After collecting keys, place them in the envelope you received at Check-In, and turn the envelope into the Conference Services staff. Please be sure all keys are collected, as there will be significant fees for keys not turned in.
Meals You will receive meal tickets in your County packet at Check-In. Please count your meal tickets as soon as possible and inform the conference coordinators if you are missing any. You can zip them into the nametag pouch so they don’t get lost. Give your meal tickets to Dining Services staff to enter the dining hall. Youth should go to meals with an adult. The eatery is a buffet; please take only what you will eat. We’ve made every effort to accommodate dietary needs. Please make sure Chaperones are aware of your delegation needs. Our group is too large to send through one dining hall all at once because there are other summer groups on campus. This year, half of our conference participants will eat at Robert Purcell Dining Hall and the other half will eat at Appel Dining Hall for all of the meals. County groups are assigned dinner times below. You will have the same dinner time slot and meal location on both Tuesday and Wednesday evening. County Meetings will be held opposite your dinner time (see overall schedule). Group A – Dinner first
