02-08-2012: Foundational Meeting For Rotaract
Good morning,
Attached is a flyer announcing a foundational meeting for Rotaract, a new student group which is an extension of the Mt Pleasant Rotary Club. The late Mary Ellen Brandell, as an active Rotarian, saw Rotaract as an outlet for service oriented youth to participate in community building projects. I am pleased to be involved in realizing part of her philanthropic vision. I'm asking that you share this flyer with any student who might embrace joining a group of enthusiastic entrepreneurs, united in helping the less fortunate. This is an organization they can continue with after graduation, since most American and larger international cities, have Rotary chapters and, by extension, Rotaract clubs. Both groups, wherever found, epitomize community service and international outreach. I sincerely appreciate your help in referring the industrious, the caring, the interested, and the curious to attend and get involved with the Rotaract project at its charter meeting.
Free pizza and soft drinks for all who attend.
Thank you,
Kathy Beebe, President Elect
Mt Pleasant Rotary Club

02-06-2012: The Minority Reporter
Join Multicultural Academic Student Services for "The Minority Reporter" this Wednesday, February 8 at 5:30 pm in the UC Auditorium. Mainstream movies are a shared social experience of significant value; they are important tools used both to inform and influence cultural identity. We apply our racial analysis exclusively to mainstream movies because they have consistently demonstrated the greatest potential for societal, cultural, and financial impact. The purpose of The Minority Reporter is to stimulate a broader discussion about the formulaic significance of race within Hollywood movies and their impact on mainstream society. You will never see movies the same way! This event is free and open to the public.
Thank you.

01-18-2012: WANTED: LEADERSHIP CAMP FACILITATORS!
The Office of Residence Life would like your student leaders to consider applying
for facilitator positions with Leadership Camp 2012! Facilitators have a variety of backgrounds including residence life experience, Marching Chips, Student Government Association, the Volunteer Center, and Greek organizations. We hope that we continue the diverse selection this year.
Leadership Camp Facilitators lead our new students through a multitude of
leadership development activities during a 3 day experience on campus. Facilitators support our belief that so much of what a student learns is outside of the classroom. In the case of Leadership Camp, this learning begins even before participants attend their first classes. We know that this program has a very strong impact on the students who attend and the students who work as facilitators as many describe this experience as life-changing and worth every minute.
Leadership Camp will be taking place May 13-15th and May 18-20th. Each camp
session is anticipated to serve 150 new first year student leaders.
While Leadership Camp is a program for aspiring leaders under the umbrella of
the Leadership Institute, it also serves as an advanced leadership development
opportunity for those who serve as facilitators.
If any of your students would like to join us in committing to this exciting
program, please encourage them to complete the attached application and
return it by 5pm, February 3rd to the attention of Kim Voisin at the Office of
Residence Life, Ronan 270 or the Kesseler Success Center in the Towers.
Applications are also available at cmich.edu/lcamp under “Facilitator
Recruitment 2012.” If you have any questions, please contact 989-
774-6601 or e-mail lcamp@cmich.edu. Thank you for your time!

Michelle Vermilya & Amy Mitchell

10-11-2011: TAKE CARE!
Click here to see the Take Care Flyer!
Be A Good Neighbor:
Mount Pleasant and CMU are friendly places! It is not uncommon to say hello to people as you pass them on the side walk. ␣ As a courtesy, let your neighbors know you are having a party. ␣ Remember, noise travels far. Avoid pointing speakers outside or playing music too loudly inside.
Large crowds tend to create a lot of noise as well and in the residence halls, even just a few extra
people in your room can cause a lot of noise. ␣ Be sure that you are not blocking sidewalks or roadways. ␣ Pick up any trash on your lawn immediately following the party. Nobody likes trash.
The sooner you pick it up, the better. You’ll make your neighbors happy and you’ll avoid a possible
trash/debris ticket. ␣ If your neighbor or roommate approaches you with concerns about your party, listen to them
calmly and accommodate their wishes.
Be A Good Host:
␣ Understand the party host is responsible and liable for anything that happens as a result of the party. It is in your best interest to keep your guests safe and out of trouble. In the residence halls, you will be held responsible for your guests’ behavior.
␣ Don’t let anyone under the age of 21 drink at your party. ␣ Make sure everyone has a way to get home safe. ␣ Identify one or two people to act as “monitors.” They should stay sober, monitor noise levels,
help guests get home safely, and calmly interact with the police and neighbors. ␣ Know all of the people attending your party. This is the best way to avoid thefts, fights and
other negative situations.
It is against the policy and/or law to:
Risks:
Take Care of YOU!
There are specific policies and laws on and off campus regarding drinking.
If you decide to drink, doing so in moderation is the best way to avoid unwelcome trouble.
Consume alcohol for the right reasons at the right time.
Know when to leave a situation.
Know how you will get home before you go out.
Never leave a friend alone at a party or bar.
If you see a friend drinking too much, too fast, help them slow down.
If at any time you feel that someone may be in medical trouble, they probably are.
