SPL REVERSE THRIFTING
The SPL team is leading Uni Thrift, a reverse thrifting event full of free clothes, books, and other things for unis to come and enjoy. The event will be on Hill Street on March 6th from 5:30-6:30 PM!
HOUSEKEEPING REMINDERS
Please remember to replace the toilet paper roll when you are the one to finish it and/or you notice one is empty! It takes two seconds, and it makes life easier for the next person who uses the bathroom.
Please remember to tell the RLA on Housekeeping that you're finished with your task, and stick around so they can check that your task is completed and then check you off the sheet. Remember that you should not be checking yourself off of your task. If you are completed Housekeeping before check because you are Early Checking, please let the RLA on Housekeeping know ASAP so they can check you off.
HALL MERCH VOTE
Slightly more scientific closed eyes show of hands for t-shirts versus pullover sweatshirts for hall merch!
More information will come out in the next few weeks regarding this, but, some information as a precursor:
We will have a design contest and we will have a hall vote for a design for our merch. Please understand that if you submit a design, it will be voted on anonymously through a Google Form only I see. There will most likely be a two week window for submissions of merch designs, and they will have very specific instructions via CustomInk!
If there are two designs that are very close in votes, we can do stickers for the second place winner.
We will print out all submitted designs anonymously, and hang them on hall, and save them in our scrapbook.
T-Shirts from CustomInk run anywhere from 20-25$, while pullovers run from 31-35$.
YEARBOOK PHOTO VOTE SHOW OF HANDS
There are a number of days and time slots we can do for our hall Yearbook photo! Most of them are during lunch time, and will take less 10 minutes to complete.

Check out Justin Plummer's email re: senior year campus service for more details. Applications are due on Wednesday, February 4 at 10pm. Be sure to talk to supervisors you are interested in working with or with seniors currently in the positons you are considering.
One of the new positions offered this year, Campus Bike Mechanic, may not have shown up for you in SurveyMonkey Apply on January 7 but it is there now, don't miss out on it!
If you have any questions about senior year campus service, email Justin (plummer@ncssm.edu).
COOKIES WITH COMMUNITY BUILDERS
Stop by Bryan Lobby on Thursday, January 15 at 4:30pm to learn more about the Community Bridge Builder senior leadership position and have a cookie!
INFO POSTER HERE!
MLK DAY SIGN UP
All students who will be on campus for MLK Day are required to sign up for one activity. If a student is in Morganton or their J-Term trip has left or is leaving on MLK Day, they do not need to sign up for a session. Students not signed up by Wednesday at noon will be assigned to an available activity.
SIGN UP HERE.
DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS
In order not to delay your drivers and to get your food quickly, take a moment to make sure your app delivery instructions are helpful and accurate. For Bryan lobby, use the address 1912 W. Club Blvd to avoid your food ending up on Watts porch. Add instructions such as "Bryan Living and Learning Center", "drop off table next to reception", "enter gravel lot from Broad St, past the circle lot" (Hunt), etc. Unless you plan to meet the driver in the lobby, please remove the PIN requirement.
HARMFUL INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT
There is an instagram account that is soliciting negative and harmful posts from and about NCSSM students. Please consider the impact of your actions on your peers and community. You may enjoy the salacious nature of the posts but those posts do have a serious impact on others. Harassing and bullying behavior online is a serious issue and can result in disciplinary follow up. If you are following the account and telling yourself that you are not involved because you have not posted, please rethink that statement, because if you are following the account, it looks like you are cosigning the content. If students do not follow the account, the lack of attention will cause the poster to stop soliciting information. Please do your part to create a positive environment at NCSSM. If you need support, please reach out to your CC and counselor, if you have information about the account, please reach out to your CC and JAshe.
WATTS PORCH
Just a reminder to take care of community spaces. Clean up the space after each use, throw away trash, and return furniture to where it belongs. Watts porch in particular has been an issue, specifically with regards to the tables blocking the doorway. Blocking the doors prevents safe evacuation during an emergency.
LAUNDRY REMINDERS
Do NOT overload the washer or dryer. When loading the washer, leave 5” of space from the top. One washer load equals one dryer load. Overloading a machine can overheat the motor which leads to a discontinued cycle.
If you're using a laundry pod, then please place these directly into the drum of the washing machine. Do not place laundry pods in the machine's detergent drawer. The degradable wrap does not fully dissolve and can clog the detergent drawer.
If you're using bleach, then use the appropriate detergent drawer. Bleach should NOT go into the drum of the washing machine.
Leave the washer door open to allow the drum to dry after each use. This prevents buildup of mildew.
Clean the lint screen to keep the dryers running efficiently and to save energy. This also helps your clothes dry in one cycle.
Reach out to Vanessa Ponce if you have any questions or concerns!
SENIOR LEADERSHIP OPEN DISCUSSION
We'd like all our seniors present tonight to share what their position is!
We will then open the floor for seniors to discuss their positions right now, or if juniors have any questions for seniors about senior leadership, now is the time to ask!
Applications are due on Wednesday, February 4 at 10pm through Survey Monkey.
If you are applying for RLA, please let me know, even if you are not applying for RLA for 2BL!
