Lock up your stuff!
Staff are encouraged to lock up their computers, equipment and valuables if they are going to be left unattended for any period of time. There have been reports of recent thefts and we’d like to protect personal and University belongings as best as possible.

July 2: Four Square recap
As was said of King Henry IV, “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” And even William Shakespeare himself, the Bard of Avon, would be hard pressed to imagine a situation more true to his words than during this week’s ASR Four Square game. Each “King or Queen of the Squares” found their reign shortened by the quick hands and reflexes of the players who sought to claim the throne as their own. The game, by many accounts, was noted for being the most fiercely-friendly competition to date. Yet, despite the amazing displays of athleticism and grace, the competition will always be remembered for the adorable four-pawed visitor that truly conquered the day.
You can join in on the fun every Thursday at 12:00 PM in the parking lot behind Williamson Hall. Don’t be shy if you’re new to the game, current players are and have been extremely helpful in teaching new players the rules.
This is what you clicked through for, and, as promised, here are some photos of Amanda Miklik's dog Ruby:
