Subject: Week 12: Updates & Reminders from ISSS



Hi First_Name,

IT'S WEEK 12!

It may not sound like an exciting thing but the semester is now 75% behind us. With just a quarter of the semester to go it's important to remember a couple of things:

  1. The semester is not over yet. If things have been going great, keep it up! If things have been not so great, talk to your professors and get help now, there's still time to make adjustments and save your semester.
  2. It's imporant to get outside. The weather is improving, go stretch your legs and clear your mind. After a long winter (nevermind COVID-19), you owe it to yourself to get out there and take in the fresh air. 
  3. We're here to support you. Like a team of person cheerleaders there are many offices on campus that are still here to support you. Please reach out when you need help or support. It's what we're all here for!

CAREER SERVICES & CO-OP SEARCHES

If you are still looking for summer co-op opportunities, don't forget to check CareerLink for opportunities! Currently, there are 62 co-ops listed on the site, most of which have been added since the start of the COVID-19 crisis! 

Career Services also has a number of resources to help you with your job search, view them here.

RAMADAN IN STUDENT HOUSING

Ramadan is upon us. If you are living in university housing and observing Ramadan, please know that Dining is working to accommodate you during the month of Ramadan. Students will have the option to request their breakfast to be delivered with their dinner on the night before so that you can have it for Suhoor. This will continue through the whole month of Ramadan. To request this, please make a note in your meal order the day before you require it. 

While Dining is able to make this adjustment, it is my understanding that the meal delivery times will otherwise remain the same.

I have also given Dining some suggestions on recipes and things to provide during Ramadan and I know they are eager to try and provide where they can. 

AN EXCUSE TO GET OUTSIDE

UREc is encouraging us to all get outside and stretch our legs through the upcoming virtual 1K/5K/10K Run With Rec. ­ƒÜÂ‍ÔÖé´©Å­ƒæƒ­ƒÅâ‍ÔÖÇ´©Å
You can sign up through CONNECT here.

EMERGENCY FUNDING

We know that COVID-19 has been stressful in a number of ways. Obviously, one of the biggest concerns for students is making up for income lost with campus employment, as well as summer co-op opportunities. 

If you are concerned about funding, and have not already done so, consider applying for emergency funding through the Dean of Students Office
