News in Brief – 2/8

Problems with the pipes

Students received a rather cold welcome back from break when showers across campus failed to run hot water. While not all students were not affected, many in the Quad and Tower Court neighborhood reported not having hot water for over a week. According to Mike Lane, director of facilities management, at the beginning of the semester, the College’s plumbing staff “replaced more than 40 hot water shower valves.” In an email to The News, Lane said these valves often get stuck in a cold position that prevents hot water from reaching the shower. He added that the valves do not give any indication or warning that may have failed, so it is difficult for facilities to address this problem early on. Students who are facing issues with their hot water should contact the Facilities Customer Service Desk (x2767) or submit a service request.

 

Co-ops reopening

El Table has reopened for the spring semester. This co-op is located in Founders basement, and they will be open from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Café Hoop, located on the first floor of Lulu, has also reopened for the spring semester. They will be open on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. 

 

Financial aid forms due

The due date for financial aid forms, including FAFSA, the CSS profile and income documentation (including all personal and business tax returns, W-2s, forms and schedules) was Feb. 1. All materials required to be uploaded are on the MyWellesley portal.

 

Summer research program application due
