You can still move in to a residence hall right now or for spring semester. Students moving into a residence hall this fall will receive a pro-rated charge for their residence hall and associated meal plan for the remaining weeks of the fall semester.

Before you complete your housing and meal plan contracts, the Office of Student Accounts will assist you with setting up payment arrangements.

Congratulations

* Douglas Reed Performs at the University of Michigan

Douglas Reed, University Organist Emeritus/Professor of Music Emeritus, performed the opening concert of the 55th Annual Organ Conference at the University of Michigan on October 4, in Hill Auditorium. Titled "A Tribute to William Albright and William Bolcom," the program included works by both composers, members of the faculty of the UM School of Music, Theatre, and Dance for many years.

The concert included the Ann Arbor premieres of several unpublished Albright works (Carillon-Bombarde and Whistler (1834-1903): Three Nocturnes] and Reed’s arrangements for solo organ of two sections from William Bolcom’s A Song for St. Cecilia’s Day (SATB/organ, 2008), based on poetry of John Dryden (1687) and written in memory of William Albright (1944-1998).

Reed performed on the historic Frieze Memorial Organ, built by E. M. Skinner in 1928. Incorporating pipe work from the Farrand & Votey Columbian Exposition organ (Chicago, 1893), the organ was revised by Aeolian-Skinner in 1955 and had a profound influence on several Albright and Bolcom organ compositions.
 

 
* Organizational Leadership Students Recognized for their Work with Carver Community Foundation

Students in Professor Lori Smith's Organizational Leadership Practicum were recently awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by the Carver Community Foundation for their work on a Saturday School program and Carver Community Luncheon. Congratulations to these students for connecting UE and the community beyond the classroom.

 
* Robert Dion Interviewed About Pope Francis Visit

Robert Dion, chairperson of the Department of Law, Politics, and Society, was interviewed on Radio-Canada about the potential political implications of the visit of Pope Francis to the United States. The Sunday morning broadcast, "Desautels le dimanche," was aired nationally across Canada's Premiere Chaine, and the live interview of about six minutes was conducted entirely in French. As the campus gears up to celebrate Linguapalooza and the importance of learning foreign languages, it is good to remember that being able to communicate in another language can really come in handy -- even if one is a professor of American government.
