ICYMI. Well, friends, in case you’ve literally been in complete isolation in these waning days of the pandemic and missed this, here’s the WashU announcement about Dean Taylor stepping down as dean effective June 30. Just didn’t feel right sending out an OiaM without acknowledging it. Meanwhile, here’s a story about the news from Poets & Quants.

Konnie Request No. 1. Remember that update last week from Konnie Henning about the biometric screening event (with a chance to earn a $50 Visa gift card)? Organizers have added a few more slots and you can still register for the June 14 event in Bauer 330. Here’s how to register. Screenings are free to benefits-eligible WashU employees and include total cholesterol, HDL, TC/HDL ratio, glucose, A1C, height, weight, waist circumference and BMI. Blood pressure screenings now include the A1C test (new!). Questions? Contact Konnie.
Konnie Request No. 2. Remember that update about the Donuts and Cornhole with the Dean event coming on Wednesday? Well, Konnie is seeking volunteers who can bring in a cornhole game for the event. Can you? Contact Konnie.
Garage Repairs. Starting Tuesday and running through August 19, the Millbrook garage will be the site of structural repairs. Expect intermittent closures at some parking stalls and, of course, noise. Work will run from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
S’Bux and Bauer Café: Remember, they’re closed on Monday (and you shouldn’t be here anyway!). As usual, menu options are here and remote ordering is here.
EVENTS
Doughnuts with the Dean. As we mentioned above, Wednesday morning is for cornhole, coffee and confections with the dean at 9:15 a.m. in the Knight Center courtyard (or the atrium in case of rain).
