To Smoke or Not to Smoke?

Amy Kivela — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:50:50 +0000

Everyone on campus received an email from Lori Clapis asking you to participate in a survey regarding smoking on campus. I urge you to PLEASE take less than 2 minutes of your time to complete the survey- whether you smoke or not.

The SGA Safety and Wellness Committee is hoping to get funding from the American Lung Association to host a program on campus which enables students to stop smoking. To get this funding, we need as much student participation as possible!

So please, click on the link below, and BE HONEST.

It has not been very well publicized, but there have been 6 confirmed cases of H1N1 on Trinity College’s Campus, and 40 cases of flu-like symptoms.

So be sure to sanitize, wash your hands, avoid physical contact, and stay in your room if you’re feeling ill. Also, it never hurts to schedule an appointment with your friendly health center!

Hand Sanitizer Enthusiasts, Rejoice!

Adam Katcher — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 01:18:32 +0000

Hand Sanitizer dispensers were installed this week in Mather, the Cave, and the Bistro. I encourage everyone to use them! Just place your hand under there and the motion detector will take care of the rest. Be sure to stick around for all three (3) of the automatic squirts.

Getting this done was a semester goal of the SGA’s Safety and Wellness Committee, chaired by Andrea Wise. We hope everyone can reduce the risk of illness by using these dispensers!

Thank you to Toby Chenette of Chartwells for not only providing the dispensers but for taking care of everything necessary for their installation. He really responded enthusiastically to the SGA’s idea and stepped up to serve the student body, from providing high-quality dispensers and sanitizer free of charge to installing them around campus. Thank you, Toby and Chartwells! I think it just goes to show that sometimes the best way for students to get things done around here can simply be to ask.
