Stop by Stu Dev today for some great treats and perhaps a few tricks….

Join us for Trick or Treat around Hicks Student Center from 2:30 to 4:30 tomorrow! Come take a selfie with the ghosts and ghouls of Hicks.

Student Development is coordinating transportation for students leaving for Winter Break! We’re offering rides for departures from the Kalamazoo airport, Kalamazoo train station, and Grand Rapids airport.

If you expect to want transportation, please fill out the forms as soon as possible, even if you have not booked your travel yet. This helps us get a sense of need, and begin planning group pickup times.  Please note, if you are flying into Grand Rapids, you may have wait times while at the airport due to shuttle availability.

When we confirm that we can get you a ride, we will send you a link to pay to reserve your spot: $10 for a ride from Grand Rapids and $5 for a ride in Kalamazoo. This helps us cover some of the cost of reserving vehicles and drivers.

Form: Break Transportation Request

For questions or concerns, please contact Haley Mangette, Assistant Director of Student Engagement, Haley.Mangette@kzoo.edu.

Do you have extra meal swipes you won’t use? Do you need some extra help with meals?

If you answered “yes” to either question, please remember that Hungry Hornets, as part of the Basic Needs program at K, allows students to donate meal swipes they won’t use to a meal bank which is used to provide meal swipes to students who may need some help ensuring adequate nutrition. To donate or to request meals, please complete this online form.

The Hungry Hornets program also has a refrigerator stocked with “to go” meals – these meals are made fresh each day and utilize food otherwise destined for compost. These meals are designed to support students who can benefit from some help meeting daily nutrition needs and are available in the fridge in Hicks 110.

Congrats to Isaac and Elijah for placing 1st and 2nd in last week’s Wellness Wednesday Pool Tournament!

Last week, Wellness and CARE and Tim Baker hosted a pool tournament for Wellness Wednesday! 22 players faced off in a double elimination tournament showing off a mix of skill, strategy, and friendly competition. A special thank you to Tim and Cynthia Carosella for hosting and your expertise!

There are so many great things to love about Kalamazoo College – the people, the ideas, the opportunities and so much more!
