Hello everyone,
We hope that you had a wonderful week! We wanted to share a few updates and reminders with you as we head into the weekend.
Events
There are a few different in-person events happening this weekend that I encourage you to sign up for:
-
Staff will be handing out card kits tomorrow from 11:30am to 1pm in the Dining Commons lobby, first come first serve.
-
There is Pal-entines at the Fire Pit event tomorrow, February 13th from 1pm to 3:30pm.
-
The Fimbel Maker & Innovation Lab is offering four options for their annual Chocolate Lab (Lab A, Lab B, Lab C, Lab D) across Saturday and Sunday!
As a reminder -- If you haven’t already done so, make sure to bookmark the College calendar and to check the Res Life Embark event page for upcoming in-person events! Note that pre-registration is required.
Testing
February 15, 2021 is a module break day, but I wanted to remind students that the testing center will still be open and all students must test twice a week, once on Monday or Tuesday and once on Thursday or Friday.
Please remember to sign up for your testing appointments in Embark each week. This helps the testing center staff prepare with good staffing, flow and can cut down on student wait times.
Travel and the Community Compact
All campus policies remain in effect over your break, including the travel restrictions. Please make sure if you are going off-campus within Operating Level 2 guidelines, you are being mindful of the community compact and making safe choices. We wanted to share this site with you that gives updates on cases and important Massachusetts information related to COVID-19. This allows you to be informed and make the best choices for yourself.
Additionally, ONLY current residential students and staff are allowed to be in the residence halls and Blanchard Hall. No other individuals are permitted to be in these spaces. We ask you to be our partner in this, as it protects all members of our community. Please say something if you see something by filling out the information report form.
For the safety of our community, we urge you to follow both the letter and the spirit of the policies outlined in the Community Compact. Your on-campus peers and essential College employees - are relying on you to help limit the spread of the virus.
Be Well
You all were given an Ask Me About door decoration and we hope that you will fill this out and place it on your door!
If you see something interesting that makes you want to know more, or that you have in common with another person we encourage you to reach out via one of the methods that they said they wanted to be contacted! This is a great way to connect with one another! If you didn't receive one or need a new one email jenna.caputo@mtholyoke.edu and we'll get you one!
Student Government Association
Consider applying to Committee Yourself if you'd like to get involved on campus and build community and leadership skills! Please see the attached flyers for more information.
Important Facilities Note:
Thank you for taking the time to use the cleaning supplies that have been provided in the bathrooms to wipe down areas after you use them.
For the safety of our plumbing system, please do not flush the paper towels that are in the bathrooms in the toilets. Use the trash cans for paper towels and the toilets for toilet paper. All of the housekeeping staff appreciate your attention to this matter.
Have a wonderful weekend
Sincerely,
The Office of Residential Life
