Social and Study Spots?

5 Upvotes

Any spots on campus that are great for studying and getting to meet new people?

Most of my friends have graduated, and I have at least a few hours a day when all I'm doing is working on homework. If I get all my work done, I'm just sitting on my phone, waiting for my next class. It's boring, and doesn't fill my cup. Any spots on campus that you would recommend for studying and/or intentionally meeting new people? Could be on campus, or around the Newark area.

The question could also be phrased: Are there any good "third places" around campus?

Looking for 3–4 reliable college students or other individuals to help load a moving truck on Tuesday, October 20.

I'm moving out of a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment on the third floor with no elevator.

Everything will already be packed into boxes. I only need help carrying boxes and furniture downstairs and loading everything into the truck. No driving or transportation services needed.

Pay: $25/hour per person. Expect several hours of work.

($150 flat rate; even if this takes 3 hours you will receive at least $150 each)

Must be reliable, comfortable lifting and carrying furniture, and available Tuesday, October 20.

Please message me with your availability and whether you're applying individually or have a group of people who can help.

RTC by Summer 2027, now voluntary retirement incentive for staff

32 Upvotes

Feels like a mini 2020 all over again, but in reverse!

Instead of shrinking staff with retirement incentive plus hiring + travel freezes, furloughs, and reduced retirement matching, now we're doing it by forcing them to come back to campus, placing more financial burden on staff who shouldered the work of the early pandemic. No thoughts given to whether these staff actually need to be in person for the critical functions of their job or if we're just arbitrarily bringing them back to make it appear as if we're a "community-minded" campus and pick up some extra bucks from parking passes. It's pretty clear where staff fits in this "community." We're the trash compactor for Assanis' financial mismanagement of the university.

There are plenty of staff who have an hour or more commute one way or were forced out of housing near campus with the influx of students admitted trying to make up the budget difference. Coupled with a "cost of living" adjustment that doesn't even make up for inflation, this is a sincere slap in the face. Just look at the Pulse Survey presentation (9:09-21:30). This was mostly before the return to campus announcement.

UD had an opportunity to expand online learning, develop whole degree programs, diversify funding streams, partner with the state, and transform as an institution and we've sadly gone back to the same tired ways of the before times, expecting that to carry us forward.

Hope to see everyone this weekend for No Kings: Vote Early in Newark! This event is part of a national day of action meant to mobilize the largest early vote turnout in American history.

  • No Kings: Vote Early protest
  • Sat Oct 17th
  • 2:00-3:30pm 
  • Corner of S College and Main St. in Newark

And to the inevitable trolls that comment saying something like "good job, we haven't had a king since the 1700s"... yeah, that's the point. We want to keep it that way.

Hey Kaylin babe watch out

154 Upvotes

Hey uh there was a guy by Little Goat asking if this was a place that “university students go” and where university events are. He pushed his way to the front and went inside and asked if anybody knows Kaylin (Kay Lynn? Idk)

But yeah the behavior seems weird and he’s rushing around. Didn’t like it. If you are or know a Kaylin, please be alert. He’s blond, about 6 foot, wearing a blue shirt, black backpack.

Be safe!!!
