zone in Albany

[email protected]

Open Discussion
• ZPO- We discussed this in Student Senate
o They are looking for a gage on the wifi connectivity in the Res Halls
 How is the internet working for everyone in the Res halls?
 Riverview doesn’t count because they are not on campus and they
have their own Internet
o Some people still are using the old connections like Delhi Secure/Delhi
Guests
o It only works in a few places, so I just want to put out a reminder that if
you haven’t signed up for MyResNet and if you are having problems with
it, write down the time of day and what problem you are having
o Your MyResNet only connects to your hall
 So if you live in Russell and you go to Murphy, that might be the
reason you are having trouble with it
 Phones would disconnect and connect to Delhi Secure/Guests
 They will slowly be taking both of those out in the residence halls
as they go along, but they have already done it in Gerry so just
keep letting them know if you continue to have problems
o Pass it on!
• February 12th- Crossover Basketball Game
o Joli really encourages Greeks to be involved and this type of community
service, it would involve different Greeks having different time shifts
o Like on top of Clark Field House and we will just be directing traffic
o What Joli wants is that if your organization wants to participate, 1 person
from your organization must email Joli and let her know who from your
organization will be participating
o BDE- Do you know how long each shift is
o It starts from 3:30 pm-9:30 pm
o Joli will assign time slots once she receives the emails
• ZPO- Friday, February 12th
o 1 Billion and Rising in Farrell Commons @ 12 pm
o So if you want a free t-shirt, it’s just a little dance thing to promote NonViolence against women relationships
 There are signs and then there’s a little dance
 It’s usually great to have Greek Support with things like this
 It’s done by ladies from Bush Hall, Foreman the Health Center
o It is free community service
 They are doing the training again, its February 5th @ 5 pm in the
Dance Studio
 It’s a pretty simple dance though so if you can’t make the training
you definitely could just walk in and learn it within 5 minutes
