Snow has covered Unity College. Since I first came to Unity, this winter has been exciting, especially for winter activities. Students here are taking advantage of cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and ice fishing. My fellow classmates sure have enjoyed a couple of snow days so far as well. A couple of my friends had fun sledding down Quaker Hill road and it was perfect since the cars were off the road due to the blizzard.
What is new at Unity College? There are a lot of new exciting and yet bittersweet changes going on. First off with the bittersweet news, our President Mitch Thomashow has completed his contract time here at Unity. We are thankful for his time here and his great job in moving the college forward. I wish best of luck to him, his wife Cindy, and their dog Paco.
Exciting news is that Unity College is currently working on building a passive house for a new resident’s hall. Professor Doug Fox and a group of students are helping design this new residence hall. Currently, the designing of this net zero residence hall is all happening in a class that Doug is teaching. This house will not use up engery but, it will produce energy. Go Unity!!
More exciting news at least for the seniors, we are graduating. The registrar’s office has sent an email to submit your application for degree no later than February 15, 2011. Seniors don’t forget to do that. Our commencement ceremony will take place Saturday May 7th 2011. It is exciting. Some of my friends have jobs. Other’s are going to law school or graduate school. It has been a great adventure here at Unity.
