Hi First_Name,
Thank you all for continuing to keep our community and space clean. 
Please continue to wear your mask and social distance.
I hope to see you all at the haunted high rises Halloween week!! 

Lockout policy section of the House rules: 
When a student is locked out during Service Center hours, their Service Center (RPCC) will provide them with a loaner key, Students must have proper identification such as an ID, or knowledge of the information on the key card, and must sign a Loaner Key Agreement before they take the loaner key. If the loaner key is not returned within five days (5) from the date the agreement is signed, the student will be Bursar billed lock charges, and the locks will be changed.
When a student is locked out when the Service Center is not open, the residential staff member on call will open the room with a master key.

A Note From Building Care

Please do not put items in the alcoves, Its a fire hazard. 

Food trash does not go in your bathroom. Please use the floor kitchen.

High Council Updates

Hey High Rises, here's your weekly presidential update about upcoming High Council events! 
 
First, we're opening up our council meetings to anyone who's a resident at the High Rises. The meetings run from 2:00pm to 3:00pm every Sunday. We're installing a whiteboard in Jameson (per our residents requests), so be sure to come out to our public council meetings if you ever have any questions or issues that you want to bring up to the committee!
 
Next, we've got a new Discord Server for y'all to join! The server is a great way to find friends and fellow students on your floor, and we'll be releasing important event-related announcements there too. You can find the link here: https://discord.gg/jXprpFs5Ph
 
Lastly, we're having a whole week of Halloween-Themed High Rise events from October 24-31 in collaboration with the High Rise RAs, so get your costumes and ready! Also, be on the lookout for an upcoming High-Rise sponsored PING-PONG tournament coming to you in mid-October after prelims are over. Hope to see you at our next council meeting on 10/10!

Big Red Thon

Big Red THON is a student-run, non-profit organization that raises money for children at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse, New York! Dance marathon organizations, such as Big Red THON, work together to raise money for over 170 hospitals associated with the Children's Miracle Network hospitals. The Children's Miracle Network Hospitals raise enough money to help over 32 million children receive medical treatments they need every year, while also raising money to provide the hospitals with resources such as surgical suites, and MRI machines! Overall, we want to help make a difference in children's lives, through raising money for them in a fun way! 

Big Red THON is a GREAT way to facilitate freshman bonding, and allows for students to get involved and participate in philanthropy on campus!

 We have our live event coming up on November 6th in Barton Hall, which will include live performances, music, dancing, food, games, photo booth, and more! With registration, students will have entrance to the main event, receive a t-shirt (for the first 120 registrants), 1 food ticket (includes a meal and a snack), and 100% of the costs go to the kids at Upstate Golisano Children's hospital!
