Q: Why are the large garbage and recycling bins outside, behind the kitchen area, not covered?  It seems like a lot of trash blows out during the day and night allowing trash to go all over the campus (especially in the area of the medical clinic).

Anthropologists like to quote the saying, “it would not be a fish that would discover water.” In order to know more about ourselves and our culture, we have to encounter people who are very different from us. Anthropology is the study of humankind, past and present, that draws and builds upon knowledge from social and biological sciences, as well as the humanities and the natural sciences.

Q: Can residents be updated on the beneficiary for the Employee Jeans Day each month?

Each month employees have the opportunity to support a local philanthropy by donating a minimum of $1 to the chosen cause on the designated “Jeans Day.” Everyone who makes a donation on the designated day may wear jeans to work that day, hence the name “Jeans Day.” This initially started about a year and a half ago to support a fellow employee who was battling Leukemia. Each month, a new beneficiary is chosen to be the recipient of the money raised through these Jeans Days.
