PGE has a power outage planned for today (Monday) and tomorrow in the evening. Because of the Friendsview construction along Fulton Street, PGE is shutting off power for a few hours each night for buildings and homes serviced in the area while they bring the electrical system online.
Buildings affected could be: Bauman, Brougher, Duke, Fulton Streeet House, Minthorn, Murdock Library, Nash House, North Street Annex, Ross, Roy Apartments, Stouffer Stadium, and Wheeler.
The planned outages are today from 5 to 10 p.m. and Tuesday from 6 to 10 p.m. If each evening’s work is successful, the power may be restored before 10 p.m. on that night.
Remember that if the power is out in an academic building (e.g. Bauman, Duke, Minthorn, Murdock Library, North Street Annex, Ross, Wheeler, etc.), the building must be evacuated until the power is restored. This is for your safety. Thank you!

As the ADHD Support Group enters its third academic year, we hope to make this the best year to date. We welcome all students who have (or have not) been diagnosed with ADHD by offering a warm environment for us to share our experiences, learn about ourselves, and to find support in each other.
Our kickoff meeting will take place this Thursday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. over Zoom. We will be welcoming back members, greeting new students, and discussing our plans for this semester.
We hope that your experience with our group will help you to not only learn about yourself and your diagnosis, but to also help you access a community where people feel safe and understood. If you have any questions or comments, contact April Garr at DAS (Disabilities & Accessibility Services) or Kyle Rafferty. Hope to see you soon!
