This is just a quick reminder that Wesleyan’s campus library offers free access to an array of local and national newspapers online, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. You may access more information about this through the following blog post.
CAPS, in collaboration with The RC Socioeconomic Status and Disability Interns, is happy to offer a FGLI Drop-In Support Space! This drop in support space was created to provide FGLI students with a space to seek support and voice whatever is on your mind. Come connect with fellow FGLI students who can possibly relate and CAPS staff who will host the space and provide their support as well.
FGLI students are welcome to access the drop in space regardless the location, that includes remote students!
The FGLI Support Space meets 4:00-5:00pm on Fridays and is on a come-and-go as you please basis. We want students to feel comfortable coming in late or leaving early, CAPS is here for you and the FGLI community.

Wesleyan students are invited to join Government Professors Logan Dancey and Alyx Mark for a post-debate discussion following the first presidential debate on Tuesday, Sept. 28. The event will start at 10:30 p.m. et (immediately following the debate) on Zoom and conclude by 11:30 p.m. You can join the discussion via this link: http://bit.ly/wes_postdebate. You will need to sign in through your Single Sign On to join the meeting.
The event is meant as an opportunity for students to engage in a dialogue with one another about the debate. Professors Dancey and Mark will pose some initial discussion questions and help facilitate the conversation.
The discussion is sponsored by the Allbritton Center and is part of the Commission on Presidential Debate’s DebateWatch initiative and Wesleyan’s E2020 initiative.

Do you have appliances that are unused? Do you wish there was a way to donate those items? DONATE HERE
The Resource Center, in collaboration with WasteNot, have organized a donation spreadsheet for Wesleyan students to donate appliances to fellow peers who may not be able to afford appliances (e.g. fridges and microwaves) to live comfortably.
Due to limitations of items donated to WasteNot, ONLY freshmen will be able to have access to the spreadsheet on Friday, Sept 11th.
The spreadsheet will be on a first come- first served basis starting Saturday, Sept 12
This spreadsheet acts as a medium, meaning that the students are responsible for contacting the individual donor for the item(s) pickup.
Please note, if the item is large, consider borrowing a trolley from WesStation

Good evening,
This is a quick note about pending updates to the Dean’s List for Spring 2020. The incomplete deadline was this past Monday, and the final few rounds of grades will be available soon. New additions to the Dean’s List will be calculated and added manually to the roster by September 30th. I’ve provided the amended policy/guidelines for review. Note: these amended guidelines are only applicable to the Spring 2020 semester.
Students who earn a semester GPA of 93.350 or better will be named to the Dean’s List and will have a permanent transcript notation of this achievement. To be eligible, a student must have earned the GPA on at least 2.0 letter-graded credits at Wesleyan during the Spring 2020 semester and have no unsatisfactory or failing grades. Students with incomplete grades or outstanding credit will be evaluated after the grade and/or credit is posted to the Wesleyan transcript and, if eligible then, they will be added retroactively to the appropriate semester’s list.
Many thanks for your patience, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.
Take gentle care,
Dean Leathers
