Trip to the Outlets! Volume 11, Issue 6
The Village Monthly
THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA FAMILY AND GRADUATE HOUSING
June 2011
Trip to the Tanger Outlet Shops in Commerce, GA. The last time we took a trip to the outlet shops, residents had a great time and simply requested that next time we spend a little more time there! So, we’re planning a trip to the outlet shops on Friday, June 17th, leaving at 12:00 pm and returning at 5:00 pm. Since it takes approximately 45 minutes to travel to the shops, that will leave approximately three and a half hours for shopping at this massive outdoor mall! So, save your pennies and get ready for some great deals! To sign up, please e-mail fghprogr@uga.edu with your name, apartment number, and the number of people attending from your apartment.

Community Guide
E-mail Accounts
Be on the lookout for a printed version of the new FGH Community Guide coming out in late June/early July. The Community Guide is filled with helpful information about living in Family & Graduate Housing and living near and utilizing UGA’s facilities and services. Most questions about policies and procedures are also answered in the Community Guide.
Please note that all FGH residents are responsible for making sure that Family & Graduate Housing has their current UGA e-mail address. When you applied to live at Family & Graduate Housing, you provided the office with an e-mail address to contact you. However, that e-mail account may have been linked to another university or a free email host like Hotmail, Yahoo, or Google. However, sometimes accounts might be deleted (especially old university accounts) and FGH is not notified of a new address, thus preventing you from getting important communications.
SPSS & SAS in Lab!
The official form of communication at the University of Georgia is e-mail, and the UGA e-mail account is the official e-mail account for communicating with all students and staff. It is the responsibility of all FGH residents to access their RMS profile (the system we use for applications and contract renewals) and update their e-mail address using their UGA mail account.
The computers in the Family & Graduate Housing computer lab (located in the FGH office building) have been updated now with new software, including SPSS and SAS! Additionally, all computers are new! This should be a welcome addition to our graduate students! Currently the computer lab is open during office hours—M-F, 8am-5pm.
