			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Family Weekend 2013 Dates</span></strong></p>
<p>The dates have been set for September 27-29, 2013. Check back in May for a schedule of events!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Summer Storage</span></strong></p>
<p>Limited storage space is available on campus.  Only two (2) items may be stored per student.  Storage is on a <strong>first-come, first-served</strong> basis. Luggage, footlockers, metal garbage cans and refrigerators that have been properly defrosted are accepted for storage.  All items should be labeled with:</p>
<ol>
<li>Student name</li>
<li>Date stored</li>
<li>Fall residence hall and room</li>
<li>Permanent address and phone number</li>
</ol>
<p>Students should check with their RA for the dates and times to access storage.  Storage space is not guaranteed.</p>
<p><strong>UPS Store Storage Services</strong></p>
<p>While there are many storage facilities in Nashville, the UPS Store is Vanderbilt’s preferred vendor for shipping and storage. The UPS Store will come on campus, sell boxes and packing supplies, and either ship boxes home or hold them in storage for fall delivery to students. Visit the <a href="http://www.theupsstorelocal.com/2975">theupsstorelocal.com/2975</a> for dates, times and locations along with information about other UPS services. It is the responsibility of the students to deliver their packed boxes to specified areas for pick up, shipping or storage. For more information, call (<strong>615) 327-0407.</strong></p>
<p>Students may us other moving and storage services of their choosing. All movers, when in Vanderbilt residence halls, must be accompanied by the student or members of the student&#8217;s family. For the safety of students and students&#8217; belongings, movers may not be left unattended.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Flulapalooza 2012</strong></p>
<p>Remember when we broke the <a title="Guinness World Record" href="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/3000/most-vaccinations-given-in-8-hours" target="_blank">Guinness World Record™</a> by giving 12,850 shots in 8 hours? Fun, right?</p>
<p>In fact, it was so nice, we’re doing it twice. You asked for this to become our new method of giving flu vaccines, and we heard you.</p>
<p>“Flulapalooza 2″ will be TWO days offering DOUBLE the options, with the same, super-fast setup as last year.</p>
<ul>
<li>Day 1 (earlier option) – October 17th, 6am – 1pm</li>
<li>Day 2 (later option) – October 18th, 11am – 6pm</li>
</ul>
<p>The flu vaccine is free for students (with ID) on these two days.</p>
