GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

- Welcome Back! -

Welcome back and happy new year to all returning members of Strong 
College!  We hope the coming semester will be successful and rewarding 
for all.

- Welcome a New Member of the Strong College Staff -

Ms. Shirley Delva, a graduate student in the UNCG School of Education, 
joins the Strong College staff this semester.  Ms. Delva will be 
carrying out many of the daily Resident Director duties that Dr. O’Hara 
performed during the Fall, such as building maintenance, administration 
of hall finances, and most disciplinary proceedings.  She and Dr. O’Hara 
will be working together closely for the first few weeks of the 
semester, and thereafter Dr. O’Hara will be concentrating his efforts on 
the development of our formal and informal academic activities and on 
the future growth of Strong College in his capacity as Senior Tutor.  
After a bit of “musical rooms” Ms. Delva may be found in Room 145, and 
Dr. O’Hara in Room 140.  Please introduce yourself to Ms. Delva and 
welcome her to our community of Strong men and women.

- Where’s Where (Being an Outline of Celebrated Strong College Places) -

The College Office (140), where you can stop by to chat with Dr. White 
or Dr. O’Hara, leave items for the Newsletter, and generally partake of 
the rarefied atmosphere.

The Junior Common Room (136), the living room of Strong College, 
complete with piano.  The JCR is the home of the President’s Tea, every 
Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.  Open at all times.

The Game Room (130), with TV, pool table, card table, and vending 
machines.  Open at all times.

The Library (330), established through the generous donations of 
students and faculty.  The Library has a growing collection of general-
interest books, and several computers.  It is open during posted hours 
thanks to the efforts of our team of volunteer librarians, and locked at 
other times.  (The Library staff will be meeting during the first week 
of the semester to work out a schedule for the coming term.)

The Senior Common Room (162), the faculty common room used for faculty-
sponsored events such as the French Society and the Strong College 
Literary Hour.  Strong College faculty have keys.

The Committee Room (230), headquarters of the Strong College Council and 
used by the Council and other recognized student organizations in Strong 
College.  Strong College Council officers have keys.

The Star Chamber (362), formerly the smoking room, now our non-smoking 
TV room, complete with a Pepsi machine.  Watch Star Trek here.  (There 
are reputed to be other things that one can watch on TV, but we don’t 
know anything about them.)  Open at all times.

The Virtual Common Room (Strong-L in cyberspace), our email discussion
group for all Strong College members.  Check the instructions on Dr.
O’Hara’s bulletin board outside the College Office for instructions on
how to sign up.  Open at all times for sure.

- Poem-of-the-Week -

The Strong College Poem-of-the-Week is now appearing on the bulletin

Dickinson’s gem-like lyric “Answer, July.”
