Campus Center Garage - Update

2/17/2023

Dear Members, 

We write to update you on the Campus Center garage closure. 

The campus community was informed of the fire protection system issue and subsequent closure in a February 5th email from Kathleen Kirleis.

On February 13th the FSU replied to her seeking an update on when the garage will re-open. We also sought, if the closing is to be extended, assistance for those who have HP placards and even those who arrive before sunrise.

Dear Member,

FSU Nuts & Bolts: RES Funds

2/13/2023

Dear Members, 

We all receive emails reminding us of an upcoming deadline.  We read it and then say to ourselves – oh, yeah, I need to do that before the deadline. Sometimes we do meet the deadline and other times grading, advising, committee work, and family life causes us to miss the deadline. 

This issue of Nuts & Bolts is a reminder to submit your RES funds.  But first..

Help us push for a larger pay raise!
