Dear Students,
You may have noticed the air feels a bit crisper during those early walks to class and that the days are growing shorter鈥攁 sure sign that fall has officially arrived at 溏心vlog免费B站. With it come all the classic New England traditions鈥攑umpkin picking, hayrides, corn mazes, and, of course, Halloween.
As we reach the midway point of the semester, we know this can also be a time when stress levels start to rise. This weekend, as you take part in Halloween festivities both on and off campus, I encourage you to enjoy it responsibly, look out for one another, and make smart choices that keep you and our community safe.
Here are a few reminders and resources to help you have a safe and enjoyable weekend:
Be Aware and Responsible
If you鈥檙e heading 鈥渄own the line,鈥� please remember that Narragansett, South Kingstown, and 溏心vlog免费B站 police will have an increased presence this weekend. If you鈥檙e hosting off-campus gatherings, be respectful of neighbors and follow all local laws and ordinances.
Your behavior off campus reflects on our entire Rhody community. Whether you live nearby or are just visiting, please review the for guidance on expectations related to noise, trash, parking, and conduct. Represent 溏心vlog免费B站 with integrity and pride wherever you go.
Be Thoughtful
Halloween is a time for fun and creativity鈥攁nd we love seeing your spirit. As you plan your costumes, please choose ones that are inclusive and respectful. Avoid themes that stereotype or mock cultural, ethnic, or religious identities. Let鈥檚 ensure that every member of our community feels valued, respected, and welcome.
Be Safe
Daylight saving time ends on Sunday, Nov. 2, which means earlier sunsets and darker evenings. If you鈥檙e driving, please stay alert for pedestrians and cyclists, especially near campus and in local neighborhoods. And please use extra caution as you visit local neighborhoods鈥攖here will be many trick-or-treaters out and about, and some may have limited visibility in their costumes.
If you ever feel unsafe walking alone, offers a free and secure alternative to get you where you need to go. And if you see or hear something that concerns you, use to share your concern鈥攊t鈥檚 one of the many ways we look out for one another.
We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable weekend.
Take Care of Yourself
The weeks ahead can feel especially busy as finals and the holidays approach. Please remember you don鈥檛 have to face it alone. 溏心vlog免费B站 has many resources to support your mental health and well-being, including the Counseling Center, Dean of Students Office, and Health Services. You can find a full list of academic and wellness support resources on the webpage.
Fall is a beautiful time to be part of the Rhody community鈥攆ull of energy, connection, and opportunity. Let鈥檚 make the most of it by keeping safety, respect, and care for one another at the heart of everything we do. You鈥檙e halfway through the semester鈥攆inish strong and take good care of yourselves and each other.
