Laundry Room Tips: Making Your Laundry Day a Breeze!
Greetings University Housing 1500 and International House Residents,
I hope this message finds you well. Afrin here, your community coordinator, drooping a quick note to ensure our shared laundry room remains a welcoming space for all. As we embark on another month, let’s take a moment to give some tender loving care to the machines. A gentle wipe-down of the washers and dryers after use keeps things fresh for the next users. Accidents may happen, so if a bit of detergent spills, a prompt cleanup is greatly appreciated. And don’t forget the lint trap love – a clean trap ensures smooth cycles. Tidiness is key, so let’s use the bins for lint and trash. Lastly, a friendly reminder to be mindful and grab your clothes on time to keep the laundry flow harmonious. Your efforts make our laundry room a better place for all. Happy laundering!

Blurb for Winter Weather:
As winter sets in, it’s crucial to concentrate on the importance of keeping windows and patio doors securely closed. Protect yourself from the cold and winter storms by ensuring these entry points remain shut during inclement weather and at night. If you must venture outside, bundle up with layers, gloves, a hat or earmuffs, a scarf, a coat, and closed-toed shoes—preferably waterproof boots. Your safety begins with a simple act: keeping those windows and doors tightly sealed against the winter chill.
Blurb for Washing Hands:
‘Tis the season for colds and flu, so it’s crucial to prioritize your health. Make certain to diligently wash your hands, especially before meals and upon returning home. If you’re under the weather, consider staying home to curb the risk of spreading illness or exacerbating your symptoms. Show consideration for others by covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing and consider wearing a mask in the presence of those with compromised immune systems. Take proactive steps to care for yourself during the winter season.

Embracing the Importance of Child Supervision in Our Community!
Dear UV1500 Community Members, as we come together to strengthen the bonds of our wonderful community, let’s take a moment to reflect on the crucial role that child supervision plays in creating a safe, supportive, and thriving environment for our youngest members.
Kindly consider the vital role played by child supervision within our community. It serves as an indispensable measure, ensuring the safety, development, and positive experiences of our youngest members. Actively overseeing activities creates a secure environment, minimizing risks and instilling confidence in parents and guardians. Beyond safety, supervision plays a crucial role in shaping social development, imparting essential skills, and addressing concerns like bullying. Additionally, supervised activities offer valuable educational opportunities, contributing significantly to a child’s overall growth. In emergencies, the importance of supervision becomes even more apparent, enabling swift and effective responses. This shared responsibility also fosters community engagement, strengthening bonds and reinforcing common values. In essence, the request is to acknowledge child supervision not merely as a logistical necessity but as a fundamental element for cultivating a healthy, supportive, and thriving community.

CSU ESA Animal Policy - Picking up after your ESA!
Under the CSU ESA policy, ESAs, distinct from service dogs, are recognized as essential for providing emotional support, comfort, or
therapy to residents with documented disabilities, in alignment with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act. Residents with ESAs are required to ensure these animals are appropriately always controlled, whether by harness, leash, voice control, or other means. The policy emphasizes the responsibility of the handler for the animal’s care, including adherence to health and safety requirements such as vaccinations and leash laws. Additionally, handlers are accountable for the prompt and proper disposal of animal waste and any damage caused by the ESA. The following information can also be found here:

This initiative underlines CSU’s commitment to fostering an inclusive environment while maintaining health and safety standards on campus.
