  • Head of College 

    • Keep your doors locked. Some security issues in the college. Can be a lot to ask to carry a key, but come on y’all. It is burglary, although it’s not breaking in if your door is unlocked. Watch for people slipping in the gates.

    • Oktoberfest is Saturday!

    • There’ll be a town hall at 9 pm Wednesday in the dining hall. Want feedback/input on facilities and dining hall in response to the responses on Dean Chun’s survey from last year. Everyone is welcome to come including first-years even though they didn’t have responses to include. 

  • Dean’s Report 

    • Midterm deadline is on Friday. If you want to credit/d do it by 5 because the doors will close then. Also deadline to withdraw from a course without a W appearing on transcript, which just means it wasn’t before the midterm.

  • SAC

    • Oktoberfest is 3-5 this Saturday in the courtyard!

    • If you want to help organize, set up, clean up, etc. let them know. 

    • If you’re thinking of SAC, this is a good way to get involved!

  • Fischer Report

    • An anecdote. Sam’s light was broken. He called facilities, which is a contact in his phone. Went to the bathroom, returned and someone was fixing it! Speedy! So don’t hesitate to call.

    • POI: If your door doesn’t close, that’s an emergency for facilities! 

    • POI: If the heat is on in the SaYbrary, keep the window closed. Or if you’d prefer the window be open, turn the heat off to be SYstainable.
