Report on Winterfest

We had a great turn out for Winterfest this year! Thank you to everyone who made it out! We spent the evening around the fire, roasting marshmallows for smores and drinking hot chocolate and apple cider with cookies and croissants. There was music, crafts, and we can't forget...SANTA. He spent a lot of time with our community, talking, joking, and sharing goody bags and star cookie cutters. Some children were happy to see him and some others were not so sure.

Some people forgot to bring their cameras to the event, and one of our RAs offered to take some pictures on her camera. She tried to do the best she could, hopefully everyone was able to get at least one good picture with Santa. The slide show is on the bottom of the page. Feel free to save any of the pictures that are of you and your family.

Please leave us comments about what you liked about the event, or things that you wish we would do in the future. We want to hear from you! We hope everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday season!- The Residential Life Staff(see our picture in the slide show)

Williams Campus Housing

In regards to coyote sightings on campus:

Please remember that coyotes are a part of our natural environment and have been here for many years. They are protected by law, so we do not try to trap or intervene in their activities unless they attack a human or cause property damage.

Do not feed any house pets outside or leave food/water out for them. This includes cat food intended for wild cats on campus. If you see a coyote you should yell and waive your arms in order to run it off. We do this so the coyote will fear us, and hopefully steer clear of human contact, which they have done thus far. The coyote will leave campus if we as a community make it hard for them to find food. Furthermore, outside feeding of any animal(s) owned or roaming free is strictly prohibited by the pet addendum of your license agreement. This means that all water and food for authorized animals must remain indoors at all times.

Lastly, animal control will not respond for a coyote unless we have it contained, or it has attacked someone. So please do not ask ASU dispatch to call them out for one running through campus. Do your best to encourage the animal to keep on going.

Turkey Bowl II Report

Despite the last minute change to our location, we had a great turn out for our second annual Turkey Bowl this year. We had two fields prepared and packed with players. We are planning to increase the amount of fields for next year's Turkey Bowl due to some requests. We enjoyed plenty of donuts, hot chocolate, Gatorade, and most importantly the company of our neighbors. Some wonderful spectators took pictures of the fun and shared them with us, so we would like to share them with you. If you ever have any pictures of events that you attended and enjoyed, please share them with us!! We love to see and hear feedback from you! Thank you to all of those you attended this year's Turkey Bowl and we hope to see many more people and their families come out to next years event as well!

Turkey Bowl II Change

The location of our Turkey Bowl II has been changed from the field at the track to the grassy area by the flagpole. It is behind the round about at the entrance of campus. We will have signs posted at the track to let people know of the change. You can park at the visitor's parking over by the Union or you can park in the Tech building parking which is closer. Hope you see you there!!

Bee Movie Cancelled

Due to an underwhelming lack of response, we will not be providing The Bee Movie this upcoming Monday, November 19th. We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused. It comes down to whether or not we have enough people to support the events that we plan and this was happened to fall short in numbers. Feel free to leave a comment or note on this post if you would like to share your feelings or ideas with us. We hope you have a wonderful holiday and break this next week!! Be Safe!!- The RA Family Staff

Turkey Bowl

Here's the flyer for the Turkey Bowl that we will be having on Thanksgiving morning. Ask questions if you have any, and feel free to comment and let us know that you are coming so we can start to gauge how many people to plan for. Thanks!!

BOO BASH has come and gone

Boo Bash was held on Saturday, October 27th this year. We had a great turn out and plenty of spooky fun. It was a lot of work to put it all together but we all got through it alive. We hope that everyone who came and participated had a memorable time and enjoyed themselves. The RAs and staff plan for Boo Bash for many, many months and would love to hear any feedback that you might have to share with us. Positive feedback is always nice, but we understand that we are not perfect so if you think we could have done something differently, please share so we can try to make changes. We hope you had fun at Boo Bash as well as on Halloween night! Thanks for coming and participating in the fun!

We've gone electronic!!
