Recycle During Move-In
As you're arriving back on campus, remember to recycle! During the peak of the move-in weekend, Bobcats are anticipated to recycle over 40,000 pounds of cardboard and other recyclable materials, breaking the previous record from 2019.

Consent Matters.
Have honest and healthy conversations with your partners about what each of you is comfortable with. Communication and respect are critical components of a positive sexual experience. If you sense a lack of either occurring in your friend circles or your own relationships, step in and speak out, or reach out to resources who can help you.

Every Bobcat deserves to have their boundaries honored.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
It means standing up for others – especially when you see or hear about injustice, danger, or mistreatment. On our campus, we call this Bystander Intervention. Stepping in when it's the right thing to do is what makes us Bobcat proud.
