A week and a day: one more full week of classes plus one last class day on Mon 5/2 and the SP'11 term officially ends — with finals beginning on Fri 5/6 and running through Thu 5/12. Thanks to all of you who stopped by ODS to talk with Susan L about your TAFs by the deadline of Fri 4/22 — and please note that as per the email reminders sent to all students — as of now you will need to make any and all finals arrangements with your professors. Best of luck from all of us on your course-studying, paper-writing and test-taking — and don't forget to take some deep yoga cleansing breaths on a regular basis throughout the coming weeks!
Happy April Fools' Day to all of you! As if we haven't already had enough winter weather to last a lifetime — we're now in what is being termed the "April Fools’ Day Storm — although NYC is being spared and our friends in upstate and New England are getting anywhere from 4-10 inches. We're now in the true home-stretch of the SP'11 term — so there's lots of info to share in this newsletter as well as in our upcoming May issue. As you proceed with the completion of all of your work, please remember to take care of yourself, get some quality rest and relaxation, take a walk and a deep yoga cleansing breath — and remember to nourish your mind/body connection!
BC: The green wooden ramp that traverses the Sulzberger Hall steps has been removed temporarily as we evaluate whether an ADA-code-compliant ramp can be built in a similar location. Please stay tuned to this weblink for further updates as we work on the problem with our friends in Facilities Services.
TC: No info.
CU: No info.
Happy almost-Spring as we are about to enter the annual Room Selection process — as well as midterms season as you also prepare for Spring Break, which is March 14-18. ODS will be open throughout spring break if you need us for any reason — and we wish all of you the best as you prepare for midterms. Here's hoping that you will have a restful and restorative spring break!
Welcome to all new members of the wonderful Class of 2014 as well as our illustrious visiting and transfer students. If you are receiving this monthly online newsletter, you have been included on our emailing list because you are either currently registered with ODS or have self-identified to us prior to coming to Barnard. We hope that all of you have had a wonderful summer and that you're energized and excited about your courses and plans for the fall term! As always, feel free to stop by 105 Hewitt on Mon-Fri from 10am-4:30pm for herbal tea — or on Tuesdays for a home-baked cookie!
