Thursday's Thanks

Good morning, everyone!

We're back for another Thursday's Thanks!  This is the time of the week when the Landing staff takes time to thank someone on campus that has made an impact on our Landing community!

This week, the Landing staff would like to send a big thank you to Vice Chancellor Pat Leonard!  Here's what the Landing staff had to say about the Vice Chancellor!

"I love how she really wants to know each student personally and her face is familiar around campus!"

"I'm thankful for her because she is my role model of who I want to be in my student affairs career."
"I love VCPL because every time she sees me, she says hello and her interactions with me are very genuine.  She does not just make small talk, but remembers thing about my life and shows she cares about me."

"I appreciate that VCPL gets right in and works with the students throughout campus- like at Late Night Breakfast during Homecoming!"



Vice Chancellor, thanks for everything you do and everything you will continue to do!  A big Landing Thursday's Thanks to you!

Until next time...

Attention: Graduating Seniors

Good morning,

This post in particular is for the graduating seniors living in Seahawk Landing.  Below is an email you should have received from Nate Miner regarding when you'd like to move out of the Landing this summer.  Please read the email below if you have not yet and respond to him as soon as possible!

Dear Senior,

According to our records you are eligible for graduation on December 11, 2010. As a graduating senior, you are eligible to cancel the remaining portion of your housing contract/lease agreement which would release you from your remaining financial responsibility with Housing and Residence Life. This leaves you with two options:

Option 1

You do NOT wish to cancel your housing contract as you will be continuing as a student at UNCW during the Spring Term. Please understand that this means you must be a full time UNCW student during the Spring 2011 term.

Option 2

You DO wish to cancel your housing contract as you will no longer be a full time UNCW student for Spring 2011. By choosing this option, you will NOT be held financially responsible for any remaining contractual obligations to Housing and Residence Life.

If you choose this option, you also understand that you will need to vacate your room by 10 a.m. on December 12, 2010.

No matter which option that you choose, you should look for information in your Residence Hall and from your RA about setting up a check-out appointment and following the correct procedure for vacating your room. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at kolkmeierk@uncw.edu or Mr. Nate Miner at minern@uncw.edu.

Until next time...

Thursday's Thanks

Good morning, everyone!

This week's Thursday's Thanks goes to Mr. Nate Miner for all of the work he does with managing the rollover/transition periods for Housing and Residence Life.  For some of you, you have worked with Nate as recently as this past December/January when you were moving rooms in the Landing or into the Landing from another area on campus! 

Nate's email communication with students helps to keep you informed and Nate has worked hard to develop a system that is best for everyone!  Nate also works closely with the maintenance and housekeeping staffs that work to keep our buildings as nice as they are!

Thanks, Nate for all of your hard work!

Smoothies, Smoothies Everywhere

Good morning, everyone!

Today we have a guest post from the Landing's ARC, Adam Hall, as a review of the delicious smoothies which are made in our Landing sandwich shop!

So you think you know UNCW dining? If you have not had a delicious, delectable, delightful Landing smoothie then you are truly mistaken. There are a number of tasty smoothie creations that one can partake in as well as special additions that you can add for a healthy boost. With a multitude of smoothie bases and an exuberant amount of tasty fruits, there is a smoothie for everyone. From those who love a little yogurt in the morning and those who like to have a fruiter base. Do not miss out on the best thing in the Seahawk Landing since well the landing. So, I know what you are thinking, “I need to down one of these delicious smoothies right now!” You’re right, you do, but be careful not to get brain freeze, it could be dangerous.

Thursday's Thanks

Good morning, everyone!

This week's Landing Thursday's Thanks goes out to the Technology department within the Office of Housing and Residence Life.  As we've shared with you previously, there has been a lot of new technology that has come into our daily work here in the Landing within the past year.  A lot this technology and the website update are as a result of the work of the gentlemen in the technology department!  A special thanks goes to Sean Ahlum, Kyle Fidalgo, Skylar Bunn, and Brendon Cook!

Another result of their work, thanks to some feedback from all of you, is that we will soon be featuring an internet bar here in the Landing office.  There will be a computer available for you to use when you need it or to send things to the printer also located here in the office!  Thank you for that great feedback about an addition to the Landing!

Thursday's Thanks

Good morning, everyone!

This week, we're bringing back the Thursday's Thanks spotlight.  This week on the blog, we'd like to give a big Thank You to Offier Hodge of the UNCW Police Department.  Officer Hodge serves as our Police and Community Networking officer- PAC'N. 

As the PAC'N officer for the Landing, Officer Hodge does programming for you, the residents about rules and regulations, bike safety, answers questions you may have, helps to register your bikes into the UNCW system, etc.  Officer Hodge really helps to make this community safe!  He also works closely with the RA staff and even joined us for our staff meeting this past week.

For all that he does to help the staff and keep the residents safe, we give a big Landing Thursday's Thanks to Officer Hodge!

Until next time...
