# Participant Recruitment and Scheduling

## Participant Recruitment

We use several methods of recruitment for our lab including:

* Emails
* Phone Calls
* Fliers
* In person visits to local preschools, the Ithaca ScienceCenter, the Ithaca Children's Garden, etc.

The following document provides step-by-step instructions for sending recruitment emails and reserving parking spots:

## Parking

Typically, parking spots are reserved in the HEB Parking Garage (37 Forest Home Dr, Ithaca, NY 14853). Since we are currently in Beebe, please be cognizant of reserving either HEHS1a or HEHS2b so that parents can park at our building.

For access to the parking calendars, email Ksenia Lang (<kt526@cornell.edu>).

## Room Reservations

Unlike in our typical lab suite, in Beebe Hall we do not have a waiting room or play area for families to wait for appointments or to complete informed consent. While we are relocated, we have been using the Beebe Conference Room (aka Beebe Shared Research Space) for consenting and to acclimate the child to our lab staff. If you are scheduling a participant and need to use this space, please email Deaven (<dw496@cornell.edu>) so that she can reserve it for you.&#x20;
