Students with final exams on Thursday, May 16, must vacate their room/apartment/suite no later than 10:00 a.m. on Friday, May 17. Graduating seniors may remain in their room/apartment/suite (only if they sign up in their hall office by Sunday, May 12) until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, but must complete all checkout procedures prior to that time by making special arrangements with the staff responsible for that building.
At checkout, students must return all room/apartment/suite keys to a staff member in their building. A community assistant will complete an inspection of the room/apartment/suite at that time and compare the condition of the room/apartment/suite to the information recorded on the Room/Apartment/Suite Condition Form at check-in. Residents are encouraged to initiate the checkout process with a staff member from their particular floor. It is the student’s responsibility to bring damaged and/or missing items to a staff member’s attention prior to completing checkout. Students will receive the blue copy of the Room/Apartment/Suite Condition Form upon completion of the checkout process. All damages and/or missing items will result in an assessment of charges at the current cost of materials and labor. After closing, the building director will conduct a final room/apartment/suite inspection to insure the accuracy and appropriateness of any student billings.
Each resident must clean his/her portion of the room/apartment/suite so that it is left in the condition it was found at check-in. All articles and possessions must be removed from the room/apartment/suite, including such materials as shelf paper, rugs, bricks, wood frames, etc., prior to the preliminary inspection. Nothing should be left in drawers and closets or under beds. Trash cans should be completely emptied. All furnishings must be returned to their original position prior to the preliminary inspection.
Residents should consult with a residence life staff member to determine specific checkout times in their building.
There will be a $50 fee for failure to return a room/apartment/suite key.
Failure to check out properly or failure to leave the room/apartment/suite in an acceptable condition will result in the assessment of a $25 fee for improper check out. Residents of University Towers, Delaney, Putt, Ruddock, Suites on Maple East, Suites on Pratt, Wallwork, Stephenson, and Northern Suites are reminded to clean their kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom. Failure to clean these areas may result in additional charges.

]]>Dear Valued Client,
We understand that as your partner, the events of our company are a reflection on you as well. While we tend to be a modest company, during these challenging economic times we also recognize the importance to our employees, customers, and clients of celebrating success when it is achieved. Many of our clients have also requested we keep them informed of the events that shape our company.
With that request in mind, I am proud to announce that Aramark has once again been ranked No. 1 in its industry on Fortune magazine’s list of “World’s Most Admired Companies” for 2010. This marks the third straight year in which Aramark has been named industry champion. The company has placed among the top three in this category each year since 1998, and has ranked No. 1 six times in the past nine years. Aramark topped the rankings in nearly all of the list’s criteria, which include quality of services offered to clients, innovation, quality of the management team, and financial soundness.
Fortune is just one of many organizations that recognize the value we offer. In addition, the Ethisphere Institute, a leading international think tank dedicated to best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anticorruption, and sustainability, just named Aramark as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies. Companies are evaluated according to seven categories: Corporate Citizenship and Responsibility; Corporate Governance; Innovation that Contributes to the Public Well Being; Industry Leadership; Executive Leadership; Legal, Regulatory, and Reputation Track Record; and Internal Systems and Ethics/Compliance Program.
We are also proud that in the past year, Aramark has been named among the country’s “Best Places to Launch a Career” by BusinessWeek magazine; the Global Outsourcing 100, which recognizes companies that provide the best service worldwide; and America’s largest private companies by both Forbes and Fortune magazines. We have also been recognized for many solutions we offer our clients, including several awards for excellence, innovation, and environmentally friendly solutions.
I want to thank you for playing such an important role in our continued success. While we prefer to celebrate our success through the measurable results we achieve for our clients, we hope you find this information of interest. To read our press release and other recent news, please visit our website.

Dear IUP Faculty and Staff:
I write to invite you to attend this year’s Freshman Convocation. Going into my fourth year study at IUP, I have been to a few convocations during my tenure here. I feel that it is an important part of the freshman experience. Convocation provides freshman students with a sense of solidarity from the beginning of their college career. It is important to instill that sense of belonging from the beginning of their time here so that they will continue their education.
My first Freshman Convocation in the Fall of 2006 was very memorable for a couple of reasons. I remember being awe struck at the sheer number of people gathered for this event. There were students everywhere, and they were all there for a singular purpose–to learn. The crowd was not just students. Throughout the room there were faculty and staff members sitting side by side with the students. I remember feeling a bit of pride looking around the room at the professors, some of them laughing and talking and getting to know their students.
Connections are an important part of college, not just with our fellow students but with those teaching us, our professors. Convocation is that opportunity for you to get to know the faces and the names of those you are helping. I encourage you to attend this year’s convocation.
Sincerely,
Adam Friedman
Residence Hall Association President
P.S. The Freshman Convocation takes place at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 30, in Fisher Auditorium. This year's guest speaker is Samuel Heastie, a member of the Educational Leadership faculty at Fayetteville State University. Remarks also will be provided by Gian Pagnucci, this year's University Professor; Alyssa Stiles, president of Student Government Association, and President Tony Atwater. All who attend are invited to a cook out in the Oak Grove immediately following the convocation. Freshman Convocation is part of Welcome Weekend activities.
]]>Due to limited space within our residential buildings, at certain times during the academic year it may become necessary to consolidate residents by reassigning them to new rooms/suites. Generally, implementation of the consolidation policy will only occur during the consolidation period (seventh through tenth weeks of both the Fall and Spring semesters). For full information, read the revised student consolidation policy.
]]>Residents are responsible for their own key/I-Card and for their access to their room/suite. However, it is not uncommon for students to accidentally lock themselves out of their room/suite. For full information, read the new policy for when students lock themselves out of their residence hall rooms.
]]>This phase will include the demolition of Scranton, Shafer, and Lawrence halls and the Bridge at Eberly, and the building of a new suites residence hall for 596 beds.
The new residence hall will for be ready for occupancy in Fall 2010.
