We trust YOU with the information provided in the PLP Weekly. Don’t miss out!


THE ENCOURAGEMENT
It’s that time. The home stretch time…or what seems like it. Spring Break is a week and half away and the promise of the pending break is increasing anticipation. FINISH STRONG. Midterms. Papers. Homework. You can handle it!!! DON’T WORRY. It will come to pass. And not only can you handle it…but you can do WELL! Enjoy the process of finishing strong before break. Your work will get done…just commit to doing it. It’s worth it. Be encouraged this week: you have beyond what it takes to do GREAT before BREAK! (I know, I know, it doesn’t rhyme, I didn’t mean for it to anyway.) We love you guys! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!


THE BLURB
Hello PLP! Happy FIRST MANDATORY SPEAKER week!!!! YAY! We hope you all are doing great and are not suffering from what we hear is being called “the black death,” 3 week sickness that is going around campus…and we hope you’re STAYING WARM! Enjoy the week and we look forward to seeing you Wednesday for the FIRST MANDATORY SPEAKER! YAY!!! See you there BEFORE 7:00, and don’t forget to bring your ID CARD!

THE ANNOUNCEMENTS – AT LEAST SKIM THE HEADLINES. THANK YOU.
***Important Opportunities and Reminders***

- MANDATORY SPEAKER TOMORROW!!!
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 25th, 7-8:30pm, CONCERT HALL. Remember, it STARTS at 7:00. Which means arriving at 7 = late.

- HOUSING DEADLINE = TOMORROW
The Housing Office is beginning the process of preparation for the 2009-2010 Housing Lottery. As a member of the President's Leadership Program, you are guaranteed housing on campus. You are also afforded earlier lottery times in order to facilitate obtaining housing. This is a privilege that other students do not have. You may not however receive your first choice in housing. It is my expectation that you follow through with all necessary paperwork and deadlines. As such, please respond to this message by doing the following:

1. Review 2009-2010 Housing Lottery Guidelines on the Housing website at http://housing.cnu.edu/.
2 . Email housing@cnu.edu
3 . Provide your full name and student ID number
4 . Indicate if you are YES going to participate in the Lottery (or)
5 . Indicate if you are NOT going to participate in the Lottery.
6 . Complete this process by 5:00PM, Friday, Feb. 25th

Please take care of this as soon as possible in order to assist the Housing Office in their preparations. Failure to complete this process will result in not being able to participate in the early lottery process and potential disciplinary action with the PLP.
