Greetings
Incoming Resident!
The
start of the 2007-08 academic year is just around
the corner. This edition of E-ssentials includes information on our New
Resident Orientation program as well as other important reminders.
New
Resident Orientation
We
are pleased to announce the New Resident Orientation schedule for fall of
2007 (see below). The purpose of our New Resident Orientation (NRO) program
is three-fold: to help you acclimate to life at International House
by learning about our traditions, expectations and resident
guidelines; to give you an overview of the physical layout of the
House; and to provide an opportunity for you to meet staff members and
other new residents. Attendance at an orientation session is
considered mandatory for all new residents.
To
sign-up for the New Resident Orientation, please send an email to me at macosta@uchicago.edu Please rank
your session preference by number (1-5). Please be aware that each
session’s attendance is limited and that reservations will be made on a
first-come, first-serve basis. You will receive an email confirming
the session you are scheduled to attend.
Session A: Friday September 14 @ 12:00 noon
Session B: Wednesday September 19 @ 5:00pm
Session C: Friday September 21 @ 12:00 noon
Session D: Wednesday September 26 @ 5:00pm
Session E: Friday September 28 @ 12:00pm
Session F: Wednesday October 3 @ 12:00pm
The first two (2) New Resident Orientation sessions
will be held in the Map Room and the last four (4) will be held in the
Coulter Lounge. The orientation is expected to last approximately 90
minutes. A reception will proceed and conclude each session. We look
forward to meeting you!
Early
Arrival Reservations
The
fall housing term will officially begin Sunday September 17 at 12:00pm and
many of you have already made arrangements and will be arriving early.
However, if you still need an early arrival reservation, it is not too
late. Please contact me at macosta@uchicago.edu as soon as
possible. Please plan to make payment for your early arrival reservation at
the time of check-in. The current rate is $30 per night.
