2009-10 Housing Opportunity for Juniors

ngarrett — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:53:03 +0000

Greetings from Residential Life. We hope you are enjoying a relaxing summer. I am writing to you about a housing opportunity for the upcoming academic year.

There are a few wood frame houses which are not yet assigned for the fall. Groups which contain at least one senior, who have not already selected a wood frame for next year, will be given priority. Groups comprised of all juniors will be considered second. Groups may reconfigure to match the size of the unit in which they are interested. Each person must submit a preference form, and mention the other individuals who would be part of the group. Units that are available at this time include:

6 person unit: 59 Pearl

4 person unit: 14 A Warren

3 person unit: 324 Washington

Please complete the Housing Preference Form at: http://www.wesleyan.edu/reslife/Forms/pref.htt by Wednesday, June 24th if you are interested. If you have questions, please contact us at reslife@wesleyan.edu or by calling 860-685-3550.

Important Residence Hall Closing Information

Students who are not involved in Reunion/Commencement activities are expected to vacate their residence 24 hours after their last exam; students who have exams/papers due on Thursday, May 14 must leave by 12:00 noon on Friday, May 15. There is a $250 charge per day for students who don’t vacate their residences on time. If you have not already done so, please start planning your departure. This includes scheduling your ride home, arranging for storage, collecting boxes and other packing material, and arranging for your refrigerator and cable box to be returned. Make the most of your study breaks by packing; start putting away items that you won’t need for the next couple of weeks. Upon your departure, remember to drop your keys off at ResLife–after hours, keys can placed in the drop box between North and South College. You will be billed for keys that are not returned and if your room is not properly cleaned. Look for a key envelope in your WesBox.

The Office of Residential Life is now accepting applications for resident advisors and community advisors for the 2009-2010 school year. Student staff members are an invaluable asset to the Office of Residential Life and are crucial to building inclusive, learning, and responsible residential communities.

New this year, the CA staff is expanding to include High and Low Rise. There will be eight CAs dispersed around campus including, but not limited to, senior wood frames, Fauver Apts, and High and Low Rise. Also new, it is no longer a prerequisite for CAs to have prior experience as a Resident Advisor or House Manager.
