Dearest Readers,

 

Stemming from a multi-department effort, our uni was awarded an NSF S-STEM grant, allowing substantial stipends for selected STEM students and boosting academic and career support. Congratulations to all of those involved in preparing the application!

 

Your truly,

Lady Whistledown

Open again

Dearest Readers,

 

Parenzo Palace is open again! Upstairs, each ballroom has different bells and whistles, and the hallways are wide and bright. Downstairs, some of the old walls and pipes are still visible, reminding us of times gone by. It still smells like fresh paint, and the workers are busy with the finishing touches to be ready for the debutantes in a couple of days.

 

Your truly,

Lady Whistledown

Book orders

Dearest Readers,

 

The ton are abuzz with preparations for the new semester. Rumor has it that course materials are not always correctly listed on the bookstore site, https://www.bkstr.com/westfieldstore/shop/textbooks-and-course-materials, with information missing or misleading. Spare your students unnecessary expenses and confusion by sending them the correct information directly.

 

Your truly,

Lady Whistledown

 

 

Mod Hall

I just heard that Mod Hall recently was flooded, and everyone had to move out.

 

Yours truly,

Lady Whistledown
