SUMMARY:Session 4b: Makerspace Leadership in Transition: Service Continuity and Quality During Periods of Considerable Change [ACTAL Virtual 2025]
DESCRIPTION:\n\nChange is inevitable. But how do you maintain continuity 
 (and indeed quality) of service during a period of considerable change?  
 The last year marked a period of transition for our Makerspace. We moved to 
 a brand new library\, doubling our square footage in the process.  This 
 move incorporated new and upgraded technologies\, many of which were not 
 available in the old space.  Additionally\, we added a VR/Data 
 Visualization Lab and podcasting studio rooms to our available services.  
 If that wasn’t enough\, the unexpected departure of the Makerspace 
 Manager created brand new challenges in an already busy period.  
 \n\n\n\nThis presentation will describe our experiences and our insights in 
 responding to a considerably chaotic situation and making changes that kept 
 us on schedule and ensured quality and continuity of service. Specific 
 topics that we will highlight include: \n\n\n\n\n	What management models 
 work best during transitional periods? \n	\n	How do you evaluate workflows 
 and technologies\, especially during a time of rapid change? \n	\n	How do 
 you respond when a Makerspace Manager exits unexpectedly? \n	\n	How do you 
 make transitions in leadership without negatively impacting the space\, 
 outreach and programming\, or student workers? \n\n\nIf you are an 
 individual with a disability and desire an accommodation\, welcome! Please 
 email rogersa@vt.edu at least 10 days prior to the event. \n\n\n\n\n
