| Be Prepared for Emergencies! Cornell's Office of Emergency Management prepared this helpful resource with guidance on classroom safety that includes tips on reporting an emergency or suspicious activity, what steps to take if Cornell's emergency alert notification system sends an alert, how to handle evacuations, sheltering in place, and other information. To mark September as National Preparedness Month, the Office of Emergency Management's theme is See Something, Say Something, Do Something. Their Emergency Action Guide provides clear guidance about how to respond to elevator emergencies, fire, severe weather, suspicious mail or packages, and other emergency situations. If you have any questions about these resources or other emergency management issues, contact director Frank Cantone at [email protected]. |
At Friday's TGIF in the Big Red Barn, 110 cards of gratitude were written by graduate and professional students and mailed by Graduate School. The next Gratitude card-writing event will be October 6 and November 10 at the Big Red Barn.

Question
Hello,
I've received a few emails over the past month about "Not Anymore from Student Success™", which "all graduate and professional students are required to complete".
Just out of curiosity, what does this mean? Specifically, what are the legal basis of this requirement, and what are the associated penalties for non-compliance?
Thanks,
Curious Graduate Student

Question
Hello Deans,
I work in a building (Kimball Hall) that is part of three buildings conjoined and there is no shower for women in any of these buildings. However there is a shower for men in the bottom on my building.
Could you explain the university's reasoning on not having this shower/bathroom unisex? I don't think women being a small minority in my department justifies making us walk a couple buildings over to shower. Especially considering the bathroom/shower that is available for women is already unisex, why can't the one in my building be unisex too?
Cheers,
Grad Woman in Engineering

Productivity Boosts from Graduate Student Life:
|
| Many graduate and professional students do not get enough sleep! We also know that sleep is necessary to be able to perform at your best, along with improving your emotional health and well-being (self-esteem, confidence, and social relationships). More reasons why sleep is so important for graduate students. With the Fall semester just beginning, now is the time to improve your sleep...
- Strive for between eight-nine hours of sleep each night.
- Establish a regular bedtime and rising time.
- Create a sleeping space that is dark, quiet, comfortable, and cool.
- Restrict caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and stimulant drugs that can affect sleep.
- Avoid "screen time" 30-60 minutes before bed.
- Establish a "relax and wind down" routine before sleep.
- More strategies available.

There are even separate group counseling opportunities for just graduate and professional students. What you need to know:
- Each group is led by one or more professional counselors
- Groups usually meet weekly for a 90-minute session
- Participation is FREE for registered Cornell students
- Groups are private and confidential; all members must agree that what is disclosed in sessions cannot be shared outside of the group
