Updates & Reminders
- The fire department will be coming over Spring Break to conduct reinspections of apartments they checked at the beginning of the March. If you have not had your space checked by your RA, do so to avoid fines!
- Make sure to lock your apartments if you and your roommates are leaving for Spring Break. Take all of your keys with you as Facilities will lock doors after completing any service requests or reinspections!

This week’s Townhouse Treat is an Avocado Toast! Make it feel a little more like Spring by bringing some color to your breakfast. If you like a lot of avocado, feel free to use a whole avocado, but if you’re trying to stretch your ingredients, use half an avocado and save the other half for your next avocado toast. If you prefer a breakfast on the go, opting for a bagel with an over-hard egg can help avoid a mess. Enjoy!
