Ithaca campus moving to COVID-19 Alert Level Green. Thank you for continuing to wear a mask and protect each other. Based on the guidance we are still expected to wear a mask inside and err on the side of caution.
For those who are wearing a mask, when they are supposed to, you will be invited to meet my dog or cat. #InviteOnly
Friendly reminder: You must be 21 years or older and consume alcohol. Cornell has a policy for those who are also in the presence. If your roommate is drinking and you are doing HW, you are also going to get documented.
Remember that there is a 24 hour space that all High Rise Residents can access in Jameson.
Don't be homophoic!! It's not cute.
"Homophobia is a terrible evil: it disguises itself as concern while it is inherently hate." - Tyler Oakley
A Note From Building Care
Please don't stack furniture, we are understaffed and don't want to have to choose between re-organizing the furniture or cleaning your bathrooms.
We will also lock up the sky lounge for a week if this vandalism continues. We don't think you want that with prelims coming.
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.
The brown paper bags in the bathrooms are for sanitary item not lunch bags.
