Just a few notes as we head full-throttle into the holiday season: Purdue University will be closed next Thursday and Friday (Nov. 24-25). This means all offices, labs and buildings will be closed. This translates to no mail or package delivery, so (hopefully) you haven't ordered anything perishable that will languish until your return on Monday, Nov. 28. We will also be closing and locking the student club room (MJIS 1051) over this time. Any food left in the refrigerator as of 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 23rd will be put in the trash. That being said - users of the Club Room on the 1st floor ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING UP YOUR OWN MESSES. Lately, there has been an exponential increase in splattered food not being wiped out of the microwave, and other food debris left on the table surfaces, which has led to an influx of mice (and mice droppings) in this room. If you use the club room, YOU are responsible for cleaning up your mess. We don't want to be forced to shut this area down, but if it continues to be left dirty, with unlabeled food in the refrigerator, we may have to take more drastic measures for everyone's health safety. We will similarly be closing the club room over Winter Break (December 23 - January 3). Researchers also need to make note that for the Winter Recess - The ordering deadline for research materials (animals, chemicals, drugs, etc.) will be noon on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, for delivery dates of December 19 - 22, 2022. There will be no deliveries of any kind on campus from December 22, 2022 through January 3, 2023. This same schedule will be followed for Drug Distribution Center orders. Please plan accordingly. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list@ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list
