Welcome home, Pirates!
The residence halls closed at 10am today for Winter Break. If you didn’t register for break housing, you should be on your way home or to wherever you are going to spend break by now. Our halls will reopen on Monday, January 15th at 2pm. Enjoy your break, Pirates!
As students prepare to leave the residence halls and go home for break, HRL would like to remind students to do a general cleaning of their rooms. Throw away any food, unplug your fridge and put a towel under it, put away any papers, and throw away any trash. Students are also asked to take their pet fish home too! If a room has a vacancy in it, we ask that students remove any belongings from that side of the room. Please be sure to wipe down the bathroom (where applicable). Here is a handy checklist:
