Hi all,

Today somebody brought to my attention that food items prepared for instructional purposes disappeared from our classrooms several times during the Summer. In particular, food items were prepared for specific activities in room FIC 111 and FIC 107 and in less than 1 hour they disappeared...

Please be aware that food items placed in labs and classrooms are not for everybody to grab. They are there to be used for specific purposes. Faculty, staff, and students spend a lot of time purchasing those items and count on them for the success of their activities, so when they prepare their materials (in this case food items), and suddenly they realize that they are all gone, this creates stress and a waste of time for them. So please, next time you see a food item in any of the labs or classrooms please refrain from grabbing them. Only food items placed in room FIC 235 are for people to grab.

If we see that this behavior continues, we will have to place security cameras in all labs and classrooms. I hope we don't have to get to that point.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks, Silvana
