Lounge space in Myers, Kelly and Calhoun Hall will be used to house some dorm residents who signed up for housing after the deadline, according to an Aug 14 email sent from the Residential Living Office management to Resident Assistants.

“We will be using 7 lounges in Myers, a lounge in each floor of Calhoun and a lounge on each floor of Kelly.  Our goal will be to move these students into permanent spaces as quickly as possible,” read the email from RLO Assistant Director Jennifer Calvert.

The lounges will hold 3 -5 additional students, according to the email.

Freshmen students will now have the same overnight guest policy as upperclassmen, according to the email. “We believe that our first-year students are adults and should have the choices that adults have,” Calvert wrote to RAs

An email sent this morning to Calvert and Executive Director of Communication for Student Life and Admin Services James Katsaounis was not returned at the time of the posting.

9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Keynote Address followed by moderated panel discussion on alternative energy applications

Governor Richardson, recently re-elected to a second term as Governor of New Mexico, has one of the most distinguished records as a public servant. Having served in Congress for 15 years in diplomatic and leadership roles, he developed a profile as the nation’s “go-to guy” when delicate negotiations with Iraq, Cuba, Sudan and North Korea required face-to-face encounters. Speaking five languages, he has been a key player in multiple hostage releases in hot spots around the globe, earning him four nominations for the Nobel Peace prize. The son of a Mexican immigrant and a California physician, he was appointed Secretary to the United Nations by President Clinton. As Secretary of Energy, he laid the foundation for an aggressive strategy to move our nation away from dependency on foreign oil, toward renewable energy sources, and securing our national laboratories. He understands, and will speak to, the significance of oil and energy, in economic, diplomatic, and strategic terms. He regards energy, its uses, its sources, and its stability as a cornerstone toward building the future and security of our country and the world.
