Reserving Equipment
We strongly encourage RSOs to make a reservation for equipment that they know they will need. RSOs can make a reservation for equipment at any point during the year. To make a reservation, simply contact the Center for Student Involvement by stopping by in-person (University Y Student Center, room 107) or calling 253-692-4481. Please be prepared to let us know which item(s) you need, how many of the item(s), what day/time you will pick-up, what day/time you plan to return, your RSO's name, your name and email, and your student ID number.
All items must be picked-up by the person whose name is on the reservation.

- Use of the equipment is for student organizations only

- Equipment items have a specific number of maximum days that they can be checked out for

A-frames serve a variety of purposes - namely to advertise events or use at events as signage. But you can get creative with them! Each a-frame is two-sided, with each side accommodating a 24" x 36" (portrait/vertical orientation) sign.
We have poster paper in the Center that fits perfectly - along with poster markers for you to write on the paper with. You can also order a poster through the Copy Center. If you'd like to utilize your RSO Operations or UWAA RSO Support funding, please see those pages for more information on how to do that.
