Thursday's Thanks

Good morning, everyone!

Welcome back for another Thursday's Thanks this week!

This week the Landing staff would like to say thank you to Dr. Chip Phillips from the Office of the Dean of Students.  Dean Phillips has worked with our staff members through a number of situations and also served as a mentor to some of the RAs on our staff.  Dean Phillips has always been welcoming to our staff and students.

Dean Phillips is also responsible for the Alternate Dispute Resolution program in which friends, significant others, and roommates can work out their disputes with one another.  This service has been used by students on campus and the work he has done to create this program is appreciated by our staff!  We want to say THANKS to Dean Phillips!

Until next time...

Good morning, everyone!

Welcome back for Part 2 of the information about the summer transition process.

TV Survey

Good morning, everyone!

In the last 24-48 hours, you should have received an email requesting that you fill out a survey regarding the TV offerings at UNCW.  We are urging that you fill out this survey because it could have a huge impact on TV channels and HD offerings!  The better response the university gets to the survey, the more likely they are to listen to your feedback.

If you need a computer to access the survey from, please feel free to come to the Landing office to complete the survey.  Also, we will be set-up in the office on Tuesday, April 26 from 8-9:30 pm asking students to fill out the TV survey!

UNCW Campus Sustainability Garden

On Tuesday April 19, members of the UNCW community will take the first steps toward growing a campus sustainability garden. The Sustainability Committee welcomes volunteers to assist in the assembly of raised and transferring topsoil to the containers and beds on from 1 to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 19. Please bring shovels, hoes, rakes and comfortable outdoor work attire. Volunteers who would like to later assist in tending the garden are also welcome.
The garden will be located between the Kresge Greenhouse and Friday Hall. Phase I will consist of 12 planters and four raised beds. Approximately 10-14 additional raised beds will be installed in Phase II (planned for May or June).

Students and members of the UNCW Sustainability Committee have been working on the concept of a community garden on campus for several years. Faculty from the departments of geography and geology, biological sciences and environmental studies have worked together providing teaching experiences and experiential learning to make this an academic endeavor.
Produce from this organic garden will ultimately be used for select campus dining events and donated to community charities. Funding is provided by donations to the UNCW Sustainability Fund.

Consider going out on Tuesday to help with Phase I of the gardening! 

Until next time...

Thursday's Thanks

Good morning, everyone!

This week's Thursday's Thanks goes to Rita Gordon.  Rita is in charge of auxiliary services which includes parking, cable television, and parking!  Rita took time out of her busy schedule this week to come to the RHA meeting to discuss with residential students the current policies and upcoming changes.  Rita also asked students for more feedback, which is always appreciated!

Also, Rita was spotted by many students last week our directing traffic, parking cars, and helping with parking enforcement!  That is true leadership to hit the ground running and not just have members doing the work! Thanks for leading by example, Rita!

Until next time...

Media Swap

Good morning, everyone!

I want to take this opportunity to make you aware of a program that will be happening here in the Landing this weekend that you may be interested in!  It's called the Seahawk Media Swap!

The premise behind the program is that you'll be able to turn in old CDs, DVDs, books, video games, etc. that you don't want any more.  Each one that you turn in will earn you one ticket.  Then, you'll be able to get a new CD, DVD, book or video game for each ticket earn- you'll swap your media! 

This event is taking place on Sunday from 3-5 PM on the Landing Seal.  The RA staff will come around the buildings this week  to collect the media you want to swap and hand out the tickets.  There is also a drop box in the office if you want to drop your swap items there.

So, if you have a little down time from classes, consider going through your old things and decide what you'd like to swap for next month!

Until next time...

Change for Change

Good  morning, everyone!

This week you will be receiving a baggie on the outer door to your apartment.  This bag is meant for you to collect Change for Change over the next 2 weeks.  The change collected will go toward the global water crisis.

Water. It is at the heart of a daily crisis faced by a billion of the world’s most vulnerable people—a crisis that threatens life and destroys livelihoods on a devastating scale.

Your RAs will be back around in about 2 weeks to get any change that you have collected from your apartment.  We appreciate any change you'll be donating toward this cause!

Until next time...
