CLOSING INFORMATION

As we near the end of the semester I want to communicate as directly and completely as possible about closing procedures. I apologize for the direct tone of this letter but there is no other way to communicate what we all need to consider as we end out time together. Really, I don’t want anyone to get charged for not taking care of their apartment or failing to check-out properly or get frustrated during closing. Although we could probably make enough money out of closing fees to buy a big flat screen for the community room we’d rather things flow smoothly and amicably so that we can end with hugs and not debts. I also don’t want to create a situation where the building requires other people to come in here and clean up after our laziness.

IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION #1

Each and every resident must sign up to check-out with their RA by Monday May 2nd at 5pm. Everyone must be moved out of their apartment by May 7th at noon (Open-housing students are excluded from this entire thing).
If you live in 201, 205, 301, 303, 307, 309, 313, 315 you must sign up with Ebony.

If you live in 101, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 212 or the laundry room you must sign up with Andy.

If you live in 202, 204, 206, 208, 302, 304, 306, 308, 312, 314 you must sign up with Ingrid.
If your RA is unavailable when you want to sign-up please talk to the RHD to sign-up before Tuesday. In order to check-out you must be completely moved out of the apartment and have everything cleaned. If you are not ready or miss your check-out time you will be charged for an improper check-out. Plan to check-out during your thirty minutes at Snow Lion. Everyone must check-out.


IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION #2
Normal wear and tear is expected in the apartments. Staff will inspect your apartments and not e what facilities needs to repair and or replace for next year. During this time any damages to the apartment will be noted as well. If an individual claims responsibility for a damage they will be charged; if they do not, the cost will be distributed among all roommates. Staff does not determine charges for damages. This is done by facilities. Even if a well intentioned RA says “No, I don’t think you’ll get charged for that,” facilities staff may make a liar out of them.

To avoid being charged, please follow the checklist you will be receiving early next week. Get all of your belongings out, get everything clean, like ready-for-a-new-person-and-their-wary-parents-to-move-in clean, put all the furniture back together and back where it belongs. Don't forget to complete your survey.

IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION #3

We are all responsible for the community as a whole. Although I truly respect and appreciate each person in the community and don’t expect their to be any problems, the stresses of moving out, combined with the joys having just completed an incredible year can influence people to take the easy way out. If debris and belongings begins to accumulate in common areas such as the lobby we will stop check-outs until these areas are cleared. If the building is still celebrating our lives in chalk we will have to stop check-outs until these areas are cleaned. There is no reason any of us should expect another person to clean up after us.

All of this will be gone over in detail at the community meeting Wednesday May 4th, in the courtyard.

Highly Sensitive Person Workshop - Today!

Calling all HSPs, those in relationship with HSPs, and those who just want to know more about what these letters mean...DON'T MISS THIS WORKSHOP!!

The Highly Sensitive Person Workshop
Wednesday, April 20, 12pm - 1 pm
Sycamore 8150

High sensitivity is an inherited trait of 15-20% of the population. The highly perceptive individual, HPI, is a conscientious and self-managing person with high integrity. HPI’s tend to be empathic, intuitive, creative, careful and conscientious.
The highly perceptive individual inherited a more finely calibrated nervous systems that allows him/her to notice more in the environment. They tend to pick up on subtle cues, nuance, and contextual meaning. The HPI reflects deeply on everything before acting, process information more thoroughly, detects and understands more precisely whatever data is taken in. The HPI is a natural problem solver. It is important that the HPI understand and appreciate his or her trait, then utilizes these unique gifts professionally and personally.
Coping Skills: Optimizing the creative environment for the HPI is important to optimize productivity, for example, providing full spectrum fluorescent lighting, The HPI is more sensitive to noise, lighting, medication, food additives, effluents in the air, and the moods of others. She can become overwhelmed by large quantities of input. Each has special needs for sanctuary, solitude, adequate sleep, and regeneration.
Through an overview of the trait and an emphasis on coping skills, participants gain an appreciation of the trait and strengths of high sensitivity that will improve how they manage that trait in themselves and how they deal with colleagues with this trait.
This session will:
assess participants for the HPI trait,
provide an overview of the HPI trait,
present specific considerations for coping effectively with
personal practices and vulnerabilities,
professional and social relationships,
the professional environment
demonstrate how the trait is a strength and advantage, and
provide specific practices for self-care and self-management.

Open to the Naropa Community


Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

Lincoln Lecture Hall



In this workshop we will explore different methods of research, how to use the library in the research process, and ways of linking to other libraries and databases.

Naropa After Hours Crisis Line

This message is to officially announce the launch of the new Naropa After Hours Crisis Line: as of today any Naropa University student experiencing a mental-health related emergency at a time when the on-campus counseling staff is unavailable will be able to access confidential support and professional help by calling 1-866-814-1545.

From 5 pm to 9 am on every school Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 5 pm on Friday until 9 am on the next school day, and through any holiday (or more simply: any time the school is closed), by calling this number our Naropa community members will have access, through a pager system, to the help of excellently trained professional psychotherapists from within the Emergency Psychiatric Service Team that already provides 24-hour coverage for the local Mental Health Center. Our own counseling staff will then be able to provide integrated follow-up as needed, based on the specific circumstances.

Please be aware that this is a pilot program that we plan to revisit in May and hopefully to improve and establish year-round from then on. We will ask for your feedback, but you are welcome to offer it to us spontaneously: it is always welcome, as are any questions you may have about this new service. Most importantly, please help us to make sure that other people in our community are aware of this resource, and that the NAHCL number is as widely available as possible.

In the spirit of service,

Bali: Children’s Art & Storytelling

Allen Ginsberg Library

Wednesday, February 23rd 6-7pm

While studying abroad during the Fall of 2010 in Indonesia, Naropa undergraduate Jack Tardie decided to combine her love and passion for working with children, art, and books to construct a project that would bring all the proceeds back to the community. She and the young female artists of the Seniwati Gallery in Ubud, Bali created a book expressing their culture through the mediums of visual art and storytelling.

There was so much she learned through this experience - how to construct a non-profit project, the process of publishing a book, the differences between art education and "seeing" in the East and West, and so much more. The library is proud to help her share with her own community here in Boulder and at Naropa.

Please join us on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 in the Allen Ginsberg Library from 6pm-7pm for a presentation of the book. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Copies of the book will be available for viewing and purchase ($10 each). All proceeds of book sales go to the Seniwati Sanggar Muda School.

Questions? Email us at nalandastuevents@naropa.edu
This event is proudly brought to you by SLP

Hey, Naropa Community!

Do you have a partner that could benefit from a little support?

Does your girlfriend find it tricky to translate your "Naropa
language" at times?

Or are you so processed out after a day at Naropa that you don't feel
like getting emotionally or physically intimate with your boyfriend
when you get home?

Perhaps you want to keep on processing but your partner is feeling
lost or overwhelmed by the way you are "showing up" in the
relationship.

Or maybe they'd just like to have a group to relate to.

If any of this "resonates," this group just might be for your partner!

Call or email one of the co-leaders to schedule a 30-minute screening
appointment.
First available times are between 6pm and 9pm on either Wednesday,
February 9th or Thursday, February 10th.

Crusty dishes, clogged sinks, and toilets

Roommates. Ah, a familiar topic for me. If I have learned anything by now it's that if you want to convey a message to a roommate, you NEED to do it in a "contemplative" manner.
Do NOT send them an angry text detailing and describing the crusted leftover dishes, the unflushed toilets, and the hair in the drain that is bothering you. In fact, communicating any of this over a cellular device is probably not the greatest idea. As hard as it is, mention it to the roommate instead of attacking them! For example.... "Hey (insert name here) do you think you try and keep the room a little cleaner by picking up the dishes when you're done eating" And then later in the day, "dude could you flush the toilet? I'd really appreciate that..." and finally, "have you noticed that the sink isn't draining, maybe we can clean it out TOGETHER"

I think that sounds much better than a list of issues you have with the said roommate, they won't feel attacked, and you won't feel the need to yell.

It's a splendid compromise, and I wish I knew that when I got here!
haha.

Please join us this Friday at the Lincoln Gallery for an Artist’s Reception for Sue Hammond West.  We’ll be serving up food and good conversation from 5 until 7pm!
