How to: change a tire

Changing a tire can seem like a daunting task for someone who hasn't done it before. However, it is a very easy and safe procedure, as long as you know how to do it properly.

In the event of a flat, the first thing you need to do is make sure your car is on level, stable ground. A parking lot is ideal, but if there isn't one available, pull as far over onto the shoulder of the road as you can. While the car is still on the ground, use a tire iron to loosen the lug nuts. Do not fully remove the lug nuts until the car is completely off the ground.

Reserving buildings on campus for events can sometimes be difficult, especially if you are unaware of the process. Throughout the semester, there are a lot of fun activities and events produced for students and faculty. Social clubs and other organizations on campus go through a lengthy process of making sure that their events are well-planned.

Resources Management, located in Whitfield Hall, is the place to go for forms and supportive staff members who will help you find a location on campus for your event. The department deals with property matters, including apartments for faculty and staff.
