West Quad Mid October Update
Almost fall break...:)
Pay Attention to the Small things...
"Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon."-Booker T. Washington
As the academic calendar increases in rigor, it is very important that you focus on the daily tasks required of you as RAs. There are some tasks that I am noticing are neglected. Mailboxes are not being emptied. It is your responsibility to check your mail EVERY DAY! There are several important documents in your mailboxes that need to be distributed to your Residence.
If you do not check your mailbox by Monday October 14th at 9:00am, you will be issued a letter of warning.
