Don't Forget About Your Room Phone

Did you know that your campus room comes with landline phone service? Simply plug in your phone in one of the white-colored ports, just above your room's data jack (orange/red colored).

In case of campus emergencies, such as an earthquake, this landline service could be essential if cell service were compromised. Having your phone hooked up will also allow guests to contact you from the DoorKing phones located at building entries.

If you don't have a phone, please visit your local Housing Front Desk for a replacement.

For more information on room phone service please visit the Stanford University IT page.

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle

Student Residences Are Increasing Their Waste Diversion

Every quarter more and more residences are receiving increased capacity to compost and recycle. In Winter Quarter, Crothers and Crothers Memorial residents received compost bins for paper towels in their bathrooms and for food in their kitchenettes, and Kappa Sigma received a new in-room recycling system and common area recycling and compost stations.

See more on the Kappa Sigma roll out here.
