March Letter

March 15, 2008

Dear King Albert Residents,

Greetings once again from Wally, the RA. Hope everyone has had a wonderful term and is ready for Spring Break. With the end of the term upon us, there a few matters to discuss.

First of all, starting this Sunday at 10:00 PM, we will be beginning 22 Hours of Quiet Hours for finals week. During this time, please be respectful of your neighbors who may be studying for exams or working on papers. If you have the urge to make noise, please only do so during the hours of 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Thank you and good luck on your finals!

Of course, with finals week here, that means that Spring Break is right around the corner! During that week, the Montgomery Desk will have limited hours. They’ll be open from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM each day of that week, and from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on Saturday. Normal hours will resume on March 31^st, the first day of Spring Term.

During the month of April, Housing will be conducting the re-contracting process for next year. Information should be distributed in the near future. If you are interested in living on campus for the 2008-2009 school year, please be on the lookout for advertisements regarding this matter with more information and make sure to re-apply on time.

Finally, I just want to remind you once again to please check out the King Albert Blog at http://kingalberthall.blogspot.com. The website contains information about upcoming programs and information about the building.

Good luck on finals and have a wonderful spring break!

Sincerely,

Wally

Soul Food Dinner Letter from Debo

Dear Residents & students, 2/1/2008

On Sunday February 24^th Debo and the Reslife Department presents: The Soul Food Dinner program! Because of the event being catered, it is wise to have a sign-up sheet to see how many people will possibly be attending this wonderful event. The Soul Food Dinner will be hosted in the Science Building 2 Lounge Area beginning at 5pm and ending approximately around 8pm. The food that will be served will be food that is traditionally served in African American homes during holidays, special occasions and to celebrate freedom and justice. With the food served, there is history behind it like with most customs and traditions. Debo and his staff humbly invite you to this most joyous occasion! The Soul Food Dinner program will provide a great opportunity to try different foods and also learn a little about some of the most prominent African American figures in American History. They are the Unsung Heroes & Heroines of today and yesterday because although they have made tremendous contributions to our very existence, we are often left in the dark about exactly what those ideas, inventions, trademarks or simple suggestions were or presently are.

To enjoy this program, we ask that you sign up on your RA’s door or at the Montgomery or Ondine front desks (especially if you live off campus) on the sign up sheet provided beginning February 1st. There are only 25 spots per floor/building/desk depending on where you are and you have until Sunday February 17^th to sign up or before spots fill up on the sheets. Those of you who are on the sign up sheet will be issued an invitation or pass that you must bring to the event and show it to the RA’s who will be serving food on that day. You are ONLY allowed to sign up once and ONLY on your particular floor so for instance, if you are a 4^th floor resident in Broadway and the list is full you are not able to go to any other floor and sign up. The only exception to this rule is if for instance you live on a particular floor and your floor has filled up, but by Friday the 15^th if you have not signed up by then you are able to sign up on other floors that have a list that has not been filled. Please be courteous and we hope to see you there and contact your RA to check for available openings in case your floor/building is filled! Thanks-You!

If you have any questions please contact your RA or give Debo the Area Coordinator a call at 503-725-2452. Thank-You!

Sincerely,

Debo Powell & the Residence Life Staff!
