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.
