Campus Cleaning
On Monday May 23, facilities services will begin to clean out the storm water catch basins throughout campus. This is a three to four day process that is being coordinated through a service contractor. During this period you will notice a large enclosed truck on campus. The truck is expected to be noisy at times, especially when it cleans out the basins in the Oval area. Hopefully this will not be too much of an inconvenience. If you have any questions please contact Andy Moutinho. Thank you for your cooperation.

"School's Out For Summer" - Rock with the Social Committee
We all miss that old time favorite feeling that comes with the end of  school and the start of summer vacation. Who says we can't bring it back? Let's celebrate another great academic year and welcome the summer season, which is right around the corner (we hope). Munchies, beverages and good tunes will be provided. Jump into a pick up volleyball or badminton game on Thursday, May 26 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. on the Olin Great Lawn (rain location: OC Mezzanine).

Take Me Out to the Ballgame…
If you're interested in playing softball with your coworkers this summer contact Mary Fitzpatrick by May 24 to sign up.

Babson College has again invited Olin to field a team. Olin faculty and staff will play three games on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings (5:00-6:00 p.m.) within the May 31 (start date) – August 3 (end date) timeframe. Specific dates are not yet available. Faculty and staff are invited to participate – all skill levels are welcome. Those who played last year can attest to the fun and friendly atmosphere, so dust off your glove and join in!
