Dear West Wing Residents:

Welcome back!  We hope you had a great summer and are excited about the
coming year.  We would like to take the opportunity to introduce ourselves
and to update you on some exciting things that have happened this summer in
our area.

Lara Panis is the Community Advisor for both West Wing and Resnik and works
with the RA staff to plan programs and events for the buildings and helps
with many of the initiatives in the area.  Her room is in Resnik 570 so let
her know if you need anything.  Michele Grab is the Housefellow for West
Wing and Resnik and works in the Office of Dean of Student Affairs in
Warner Hall.  Michele oversees the staff and building operations and can be
helpful in a variety of ways so just let her know what you need.

****Now, on to the exciting news!  Since most of you have already moved in
you've noticed the wonderful new carpeting and furniture and the paint job
that West Wing received this summer.  It was a much needed face lift and we
hope you will do your best to help us keep it looking as nice as it does
now.  That means please be careful of how you hang things on the walls and
take care of the new furniture, it will be awhile before we get new again!

Finally, we hope you have had a chance to check out our brand-new kitchens!
In the West Wing 2nd&4th floor lounges you will find brand new kitchens and
hopefully sometime this week brand new lounge furniture.  We know we have
had some access issues but expect that to be fixed by this afternoon.  You
should now have access to all the lounges in West Wing on your key card
(and the West Wing Rec Room on the first floor).  Let us know if you do not
have that by the end of this week.  We have stocked the kitchens with some
minimal cooking utensils and ask that you help us keep those things in the
kitchen and keep it clean.

We hope you will join us in enjoying all we've been able to do this summer
and help us have a great year.  As always, we welcome any feedback you have
for us and look forward to meeting each of you in person. We are also in
the process of launching a West Wing/Resnik website.  Check it out at

Sincerely,
Michele Grab & Lara Panis
