It's been a busy time at the L-B-J Student Center Staff. Frances Rendon tells us why in this Bobcat Update.
If you passed through the Student Center last week, you may have noticed a person or two sitting near one of the entrances as you walked in. These people were participating in the Student Center Traffic Count, or Clicking for short. The weeklong assessment takes place every spring semester for five consecutive days and also one day in the Fall semester. The Clicking is done by workers in the Student Center who volunteer for hourlong shifts that range from seven in the morning until eight at night. They are conducted at the Information Desk, next to the Bus Loop, the Paseo, the Lair Food Court, and the 3rd and 4th foor catwalk areas.
Coordinator for Marketing and Promotions in the Student Center, Dusty Vaught, says the clicking helps determine how much staff is needed in specific areas of the student center.

According to the count, Wednesday is the busiest day for the Student Center. Volunteer Jordan Willet says she saw a lot of traffic in her location at the Paseo near Paw's Market.

Volunteer Katheryn Waite says the count seems to be effective.

The L-B-J Student Center serves an estimated 13- to 15-thousand students per day, and that's known because of the annual Traffic Counts.
For Bobcat Update, I'm Frances Rendon.
