Missing Lounge Speaker/ Undergraduates in the Grad Lounge

by Wilkerson, Kabl

Hi all, Within the last couple of weeks, the small JBL speaker purchased by HGSA for student events has gone missing from the lounge. If anybody has seen it recently or knows its whereabouts, please alert Annie Boniface or me as soon as possible (it's black, with orange accents). A secondary reminder: the graduate lounge is for graduate students only. Quite a few undergraduates have cycled through the graduate lounge over the last semester, which I realize is often a simple mistake. However, we are one of the few programs with the privilege of having a dedicated graduate space. Undergraduate students, however, have most of the university to take advantage of should they wish to use a study space. If an undergraduate does come into the grad lounge, it is perfectly okay to politely tell them they've made their way into a graduate student space and ask them to acknowledge the rules that there are no faculty or undergraduates allowed in without permission. Sincerely, Annie & Kabl Here's a link <https://www.target.com/p/jbl-flip-6-portable-waterproof-bluetooth-speaker-b…>to see what the speaker looks like.
