HPC Corner

Zoe Owens ’22, HPC liaison, began by addressing the campus-wide water shortage that occurred early on the morning of Oct. 25. Although water has been restored, she encouraged students to report any issues with water usage in campus facilities, and to be proactive with submitting maintenance reports in general. She also announced the upcoming Halloween events on campus: Munger Mash on Oct. 29 from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. in the Munger courtyard, as well as trick-or-treating in all residential halls.

After briefly giving their statements of intent, Diana Paulsen ’21, Alexandra Brooks ’23, Elizabeth Park ’24 and Arielle Belluck ’22 were elected as non-voting members to the Academic Council. 

Student Bursar Presentation 

Maya Bradbury, student bursar, gave an informational presentation on the Student Organization Funding Committee and Bursar’s Office.
