It looks like Spring is finally with us at Elsah! We hope you’re enjoying the warmer weather and that you’re excited about the fast-approaching Spring Break. Can you believe it’s in just two weeks?! Time sure is moving fast! From ISPaSO’s notices desk, below is this week’s quick rundown.
Women’s History Month
Today marks the beginning of this year’s Women’s History Month in the United States. Look out for ISPaSO Lately’s initiatives throughout the month, including ways you can participate in marking this important month! Any ideas you may have in this regard are absolutely welcome!
Scam Alert!
Beware of scams targeting international students, claiming to be from IRS and asking for money or social security numbers or claiming to be from ICE or DHS and asking for I-94 information. Always be vigilant about your private information ‒ do not share it except when you’re certain that it is safe to do so.
New Furniture in Gehner Living Room
We’re excited to let you know that the living room in Gehner now has new furniture! We’ve been working with Facilities on this for a while and we’re so grateful to see it in real life! It is just one of multiple areas of Break House that ISPaSO has been working to improve and we recognize that there’s still more to be done. Thank you for your role in this ongoing transformation endeavor!
