Dunster HouseFrom the Office of the Resident Dean, Michael Uy
Deer Meece, Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Happy National Coming Out Day! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! I hope you had a restorative Monday off. I just have one main recommendation this week: for three whole semesters, we have not had to think about, or prepare for, in-person exams, but this semester we do! Exam dates and exam times are now posted and if your course has a Registrar-proctored exam, then you must attend it, without exception, otherwise risk an ABS (failing) grade. Please do double/triple check your syllabi and this schedule before booking flights home or making other arrangements. I hope midterms, problem sets, and projects continue to go well for you – I know it’s been a while since you’ve had to complete these tests in-person too! Please take care of yourselves, eat well, drink water, exercise, play IMs, and look after each other. One final holiday to note: Global Handwashing Day on October 15th J I can’t promise we’ll have the new stickers by then, but I appreciate the submissions we’ve gotten so far. Most of them. Dunster Love <3
