Vigilance in the Building

MESSAGE FROM ROB:

Over the last few days, there have been a few instances of people ( one person multiple times) in the building up to no good, and really should not have been in the building.  Campus police are well aware of the incidents, and I am asking you all to just be aware and more vigilant about what is going on around us. If someone seems suspicious or out of place, call campus police (466-8888).  

I suggest making sure you log out of any computer you sign into on campus, even those in offices, each time you leave that computer, no matter how short you think you will be away from it. Do not log onto any computer for a student or someone you do not know either.

Though open to the public, aside from the performances, the public is not allowed to use the classrooms, the practice rooms, rehearsal spaces, or even hangout in the student lounges.  

Students should not be leaving any of their personal belongings unattended or open in the student lounges or dressing rooms.

HELP NEEDED: RIC Open House November 7

 


Hello,  Theatre Majors -- 

On November 7 RIC is hosting an Open House for prospective students and their families.

We are going to need people to man the Theatre table for a couple of hours. (The event will run from about 2-4pm.)

Jessica Pearson and a couple of students will be at the Dance table, but Casey Seymour Kim cannot be there, so we need people who can talk about the Theatre programs.

If we get 2-3 students, people can tag-team if they can't be there the entire time.

Please let Casey Seymour Kim know by emailing jwalrad1@ric.edu or casey.seymourkim@gmail.com.

Thank you, Everyone!
