Fire Alarm Inspections
This week, Simplex/Johnson Controls will be on campus for the next two to three days doing fire alarm inspections all over campus, so you will hear some alarms from time to time. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Noon Basketball Association 
If there is sufficient interest, the NBA (Noon Basketball Association) will continue to play Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at noon throughout the Christmas break. We play in Dacotah Hall. All faculty, staff, and students are welcome. Guests may play if they fill out a waiver and provide proof of insurance. For more information, email art.marmorstein@northern.edu.
