Updates for everyone to be aware of!!!

Hey Everyone in Building D,

There are some updates that y'all need know.  The recycling bins are here, and they are in the third floor laundry rooms.  There is enough for every apartment to have ONE.  Please make sure that you only take one, thanks.

The next thing is that I have the roster that everyone in the building needs to come and sign.  Please stop by my apartment and sign the sheet.

The next update is that I am hearing of some parties that have been going on and that building D "is the place to party."  I beg to differ about that.  Please be advised that parties are NOT allowed.  Below is the part in the helmsmen about parties.  The full helmsman can be found by the link on the blog page or on the student life page.  Please be mindful of this, and if someone asks you to be quiet, respect their request.

  • Sponsorship of activities involving the use of alcoholic beverages without written approval by the University. Specifically parties are not allowed in any of the residential buildings or apartments.
                    Common characteristics of a party can include, but are not limited to any or all of the following: presence of bulk volumes of alcohol, large volume of people, loud music or noise, and/or behavior that draws attention to a student apartment.

                    The last update is that I will be having a drop in for everyone to come by and meet me, ask questions and grab some FREE PIZZA!!!  It will be next Tuesday, September 6th from 7-9.  Please make sure that you stop by for the free food, and also come by and ask questions about housing policy and other policies like the alcohol and party policies.

                    Thanks so much and hope that everyone's week is going well.

                    Michael

                    Welcome to North Village D!!

                    Hey Everyone,

                    Welcome to North Village building D. My name is Michael and I will be your NV CA (Community Assistant) for this school year. I just wanted to make sure that you knew that we have changed the name from RA to CA this year because we want to build a community and not a hall. In other words, I am here just like your RA was before. So if there is ever a situation that you need help with, don't hesitate to give me a call or come by my room (103).

                    When you first arrive on campus you will probably have noticed that when you signed in you did not sign the normal RIC when you checked in. You signed the new RCR's. We have changed this proces to provide more awareness to what your room looks like when you check in and then on the reverse you notice the prices of what you will be charged if you were to damage something. You will want to make sure that you click on the link to report the damages that are in your room now so that you will not be charged for it at the end of the year. The reason that we did this online is because we want to make sure that we have a record of it and to make it easier for y'all to turn in.

                    I will be using is blog to update you on some of the programming that we will be doing as well as important information that you will need to know. My hope is that you will check this at least once a month because there will be things that you need to know about like fire safety inspections and other maintenance repairs.

                    Please don't hesitate to email, call me or stop by my room with questions, this is what I am here for.

                    Michael
