Classes Start Monday!
We hope you are getting settled back into your space and getting caught up with your campus friends after this long break! Hopefully you're able to jump in right where you left off without missing a beat!
MAPLE HALL
An Apartment Without Being An Apartment
Recently renovated, Maple Hall has new flooring, lighting, vanities (there's a sink in each room!) and a fully-renovated kitchenette on each floor. You can go in to the kitchen and whip up a special treat - all the pots and pans are provided.

Bathrooms are a pod-style and that means the toilet, sink and shower are in one room - a pod - that give you some privacy.

Seasons Marketplace and East Side Market are amazing ISU Dining locations in the Maple-Willow-Larch Commons.

Location, great amenities and support staff on call 24/7 truly makes Maple Hall a great place to call home and one you may want to consider for next year.
And remember, housing contracts for the 2021-22 academic year are now open. Full details on the selection process can be found here.
Next Virtual Open House Session is Jan. 27
We're hosting two virtual sessions next Wednesday, Jan. 27, where you'll get an overview of on-campus housing options and how you can choose those spaces. We'll have staff on hand to answer any questions you may have about any of our locations. You can take part in the open house by clicking the link below.

Regardless of where you live now - on campus, off campus or at home - ANY ISU student can choose a space on campus for next year.

The selection process is outlined here and you can explore all communities here.

Take the Kognito Training
Kognito At-Risk Mental Health for Students is a highly interactive on-line learning module. We want every Cyclone to have foundational knowledge and skills to support mental health, so Student Wellness is asking all returning students to complete the program. If you completed Kognito in Summer or Fall 2020, you do not need to complete it again. It takes less than an hour to complete.
Kognito is in your Canvas account to complete. The deadline to complete is Feb.15, 2021.
