The name and phone number of the tutor(s) on call is listed in each week's Newsletter and will also be posted outside the House Offices and throughout the Pfoho buildings. This Week in Pfoho: Exams, exams, exams - Good Luck! Friday, May 13 Fall Housing Cancellation Deadline Due through StarRez link (below) Cancellations rec'd after this deadline will incur a late fee IHT, Round 2 app deadline Due through StarRez Link Sunday, May 15 Non-graduating students move-out deadline 12:00 NOON ************************************************************** Notes from the Resident Dean, Brigitte Libby, pforzheimerhousedean(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:pforzheimerhousedean@fas.harvard.edu>: MY OFFICE HOURS: You can always check my office hours and sign up for an appointment on my google calendar here: http://bit.ly/Pflibby<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_Pflibby&d=CwMGaQ…> If these times don't work for you, just email me and we will set something else up outside those times! If you stop by to catch me but I'm out of the office, just let Abby know you'd like to speak with me, and she'll make that happen. Exam reminders! You've all heard some of these items before, but I urge you to read through this note anyway-it is easy to forget exam policies, and it just takes a couple of minutes to re-familiarize yourself so that you know what to do if you get sick this week and some common problems to avoid. You should also review the exam guidelines in the Student Handbook, here: http://handbook.fas.harvard.edu/book/final-examinations 1) Plan Ahead: Do not miss the scheduled time of your exam. Double-check your exam schedule--make sure that you have the time, room, day of the week, and date correct! * Plan to get adequate sleep the night before. Do not try to stay up all night. * Set a back-up alarm and/or ask a friend to wake you. Ask a friend to double check on you even if you think you will be awake. And don't count on a last-minute shuttle to get you to an exam on time, because it could be full. You may not be allowed to take an exam if you arrive late, and you will not be allowed to take the exam if you arrive after the first student has left the room. If, in spite of all precautions, you sleep through an exam, please notify the Resident Dean's office immediately (pforzheimerhousedean(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:pforzheimerhousedean@fas.harvard.edu>) or come and find me or Abby in the House Office. Pfoho Announcements: SENIORS! Make sure you fill out the Diploma Ceremony Survey by May 18th!

[PFOHO] Volunteer Time To Help HUDS

by Christian Ayeni

Good morning Pfoho, I just spoke with Patti at HUDS and she's said that they are short staffed today and could really use some help. If you have time and would like to help, come down to the dhall anytime today and see Patti. Best, Christian Holmes 2 Tutor -- Christian Ayeni Harvard Medical School | PhD. Candidate - Virology Cell: 214.450.1723 cayeni(a)fas.harvard.edu "I think you may judge of a man’s character by the persons whose affection he seeks. If you find a man seeking only the affection of those who are great, depend upon it he is ambitious and self-seeking; but when you observe that a man seeks the affection of those who can do nothing for him, but for whom he must do everything, you know that he is not seeking himself, but that pure benevolence sways his heart." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce

[PFOHO] Move Out parking reminder

by Leon, Mario E.

Hi Everyone, Congratulations on wrapping up this academic year! As you get ready to move out of the House, please keep in mind the following related to parking/loading up your vehicles. 1. Please(!) do not park in any spaces that have signage indicating that they are for dumpster drop-offs. Most of the time, these spaces have a dumpster in them, but if you park in one when a dumpster is not there, you may well find your car is towed by the time you get back to it. 2. We have reserved a bunch of parking spaces around the House late next week for your convenience in moving out. If you are moving out before then and park in a Harvard parking space, please use your "flashers" to indicate to Parking Services and HUPD personnel that you are in the process of moving out, rather than illegally parking. 3. Please also put a note on your car's dashboard indicating that you are moving out and leaving a cell phone number where you can be reached. If there is a need to move your car, Parking Services or HUPD will attempt to call you to move it, rather than having it towed away. Thank you. -- Mario Leon Building Manager Pforzheimer House - Harvard University 56 Linnaean Street Cambridge, Ma 02138 Tel: (617) 495-8621 Email: mleon(a)fas.harvard.edu _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce
