Piketoberfest Today!

If you've wondered why there haven't been blog posts for a couple days, it's been due to people supporting a high amount of RSA recruitment efforts and programs. Thursday we had several hall council information sessions and an activities fair table. Friday we had two programs, and today is Piketoberfest. Join RSA on the Centennial Commons at 3 PM for free food and a free concert by State Radio & Longwave. Prior to the concert, RSA is helping prepare and setup pretty much all day. Follow us on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/rsalive for updates.

Free Google Apps Training

Via Twitter, the Resident Student Association has learned of a Free Google Applications training workshop for students. The training will take place Wednesday, September 23rd during Activities Period (11:45 AM) in 145 Snell Library.

Google Applications is the new platform for student e-mail, calendar, and document sharing. Through Google Applications, students can organize meetings for classes, share documents, create new documents, chat with other students, and have a powerful e-mail platform available.

You can register for the training on the Information Services Training website.

Problems? We Can Help

Have a problem on-campus? If so, e-mail NortheasternRSA@neu.edu and you'll get an answer by the end of the next business day, but often much faster. With 80 percent of e-mails responded to within 8 hours, the Resident Rapid Response Team is here for any student living on-campus at Northeastern who has any question, problem, or concern. The Resident Rapid Response Team has produced quick results, solutions, and answered questions for hundreds of students already, and looks forward to serving many more.

Recycling Bins

If you live in an upperclass apartment-style residence hall and don't yet have a recycling bin, check with your RAs. If they aren't able to help, e-mail RSA (at) Northeastern.edu and we'll try to help out.

Last Day of Move-In

Today's the last day of move-in, and if everything runs as well as it did the last few days, this will be one of the most successful move-in weeks ever, especially given that this is the largest move-in ever with the addition of International Village.

There are plenty of Welcome Week events coming up, including Duck Tours tomorrow at 5:00 PM, so check out www.northeastern.edu/welcomeweek for more information or stop by the Welcome Week booth on the Krentzman Quad in front of Ell Hall to learn more.
