Week that was

ASG Housing Fair

Associated Student Government held its first housing fair for NU undergraduates on Jan. 11. Students attended to learn all about Northwestern housing, including places to live both on and off campus, tips for finding affordable furniture and proper ways to sign a lease.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations

In recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Northwestern offered many opportunities for students to reflect on his life and legacy. On Monday, Dr. Benjamin Carson and Tim King gave speeches on campus to NU students and staff, and students also celebrated with the annual day off from classes, savoring the long weekend.

NU Website Down?

Northwestern websites seemed to be malfunctioning Monday, putting students and staff at an inconvenience when trying to access information or their personal NU email accounts. However, before long, the server was up and running without much of an announcement. What a pity–Internet malfunctions are such a good excuse for late homework.

Kick-off of Dance Marathon fundraising

Fundraising for the upcoming Dance Marathon has officially started. This past weekend, students put their creative juices to good use, coming up with ideas from classic cookie sales to $5 laundry services, even selling their own iPods for the cause.

This week, NU students were NOT:

  • Sure how to complete their homework during the Wikipedia blackout
  • Mad that Monday holiday screwed up their work week
  • Thrilled that the 2012-2013 school year practically begins on Halloween
  • Tanning outside
