Bins

Do you need a bin to move in, move out, or move to/from? If so, bins are available at Davenport B and West Campus, Building A - North during the following times:

Aug .15th: 9am-9pm (Returned by 8pm)
Aug. 16th: 3pm-9pm (Returned by 8pm)
Aug. 17th: 3pm-9pm (Returned by 8pm)
Aug. 18th: 12pm-9pm (Returned by 8pm)
Aug. 19th - 28th: 3pm-9pm (Returned by 8pm)

The Resident Student Association is aware of the bin shortage that presently exists and is trying to find out what can be done to improve the situation for students who need to make moves. To help the situation, residents should attempt to pack everything and then make bin trips as quickly as possible and return their bin immediately.

You Probably Will Need to Re-Register for ResNet

Students living on-campus will probably need to re-register computers and other devices on ResNet on August 20th, 2009. The re-registration is necessary due to an update to ResNet taking place the night of August 19th, 2009. Re-registration can be done starting at 9:00 AM on August 20th by visiting http://registerresnet.neu.edu. Devices that lack a web browser may need to be re-registered manually. For information on this process, you can e-mail help@neu.edu or call 617.373.4357. You may be required to either provide the device's Media Access Control address or bring it into the ResNet Customer Service Center in Speare Commons.

Breaking: Free Food at International Village Tomorrow Morning

Art In International Village

Today's issue of The Huntington News has a story on our latest Residence Hall, International Village, and the artwork that will be featured in the building. You can read the story here. Additionally, an editorial about Shepherd Fairey and allegations of dishonest work can be read here.

G-Apps Migration "Delayed"

When Information Services Vice President Bob Weir sent an e-mail out to the student body about Google Apps being available to undergraduates starting August 12th, many students looked forward to today as the day when they could ditch the insufficient storage, lack of functionality, and difficulty of use of the current myNEU e-mail system for a new system driven by Google Applications. Unfortunately, students will have to wait 5 days. Due to a mistake, the e-mail from Vice President Weir indicated the wrong date. Undergraduate Students will be able to switch to G-Apps on Monday, August 17th. On the positive side, Admitted Students and Graduate Students can switch today.

Improved Heating in Stetson Hall West

Many times, residents show concern that older buildings never see improvements. This isn't entirely true, and an example is Stetson Hall West. When Stetson Hall West opens up in the Fall for new first-year students, there will be a nice change from years past: new heating units. You can see a couple pictures of the new heating units in place below.




September in Boston is typically warm/mild, and can be quite hot at times, so bringing a fan is suggested due to the lack of central air conditioning in the building. However, when January comes, the new heaters will be a great addition for residents.

Free BBQ This Thursday: West Campus Surf 'n Turf
