Department Updates Candy Dish Now that Valentine’s Day is out of the way candy is sure to be cheap, help us keep up the stock in the office! A message from Jordan Stump Dear everyone: As always, I’ll be going to France for a little over a month this summer (from June 6 to July 10), and as always I’m looking for someone to live in my house while I’m gone, and to look after my two trouble-free cats. It’s a large house on a quiet street in a very safe neighborhood, a twenty-minute bike ride (or fifty-minute walk) to campus, with a bus stop two and a half blocks away. All you would have to do is keep my cats company, and very occasionally cut the grass. Must be responsible and non-disruptive to cats. No children or other pets, please. Do get in touch with me if you’re interested; I’d be very happy to talk with you further if you have questions.
