Operations Updates for October

UPCOMING CAMPUS CLOSURE

The Beacon Street campus will be closed October 12 for Indigenous People’s Day.

OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

Domestic violence is a pervasive problem, and can impact people of any gender, age, and race: According to a 2010 survey, about 36% of women and 29% of men in the US report experiencing intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Domestic violence can cause physical and emotional trauma, financial stress, and housing instability, impacting all areas of life.

People experiencing domestic or dating violence often feel isolated and not sure what they can do to escape the situation. This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, NECO joins organizations nationwide to echo this year’s theme: With Survivors, Always.

Here you’ll find some resources to help yourself and others. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need additional support.

POLITE PARKING REMINDER

Many of you know how disruptive it can be to get called out of a lab or meeting to move your car. Luckily, you have the power to prevent this! Simply scan the QR code at any building entrance (or bookmark this link) to access the NECO Parking Assistant and automatically communicate your schedule to the person you’re blocking.

Thank you for helping to keep the parking lot usable for all.
