Simon Forum

All individuals entering the forum will now do so from the Baldwin Gym Patio entrance. All other doors are for exit only except in the cases of athletic contests and special events coordinated by HCH. Doors may not be unlocked or propped open. Students found to be doing this may be subject to disciplinary procedures.

In addition, every person entering the Simon Forum will need to produce valid Drew identification to the Front Desk Attendant. For students and staff this simply means their current Drew Identification Card. Alumni will be directed to the Business Office or Alumni house for an Alumni ID Card which will be validated with a sticker showing that they are approved to enter the forum and use the facilities. Non current Drew students, faculty, staff and alumni without validated ID will be unable to gain access into the forum. Visitors, recruits, parents, etc. will be asked to provide picture ID and may sign in at the front desk specifying who they are coming to see upon entering the forum. This will be an ongoing process in conjunction with Campus Recreation, Student Activities and Public Safety.
