I am a work study student who works at the circ desk. Students have complained about noise coming from an office window that is open in the atrium. I believe that the window is in the interlibrary loan department. Thank you for alerting us to this concern. We have spoken to the staff whose windows...

I do have one suggestion to improve them, and that is to put “white noise” machines in them. Student health services as well as the learning assistance center use them throughout their offices...

Replace all tampon and napkin dispensers in women’s bathrooms – many are broken and some don’t have any machines at all. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We took this issue to Facilities Management and they said that, in fact, the filling of these dispensers was discontinued ten years ago campus-wide but the...
