Facilities Announcements!

Don't Overload the Washers/Dryers!

Please be aware on campus we have normal sized machines that can only handle a regular size wash load.  When doing wash please do not attempt to wash bulky items like quilts, comforters, extra-large or heavy blankets, pillows, or cushions.  They have a tendency to create load balance issues with the machines which cause the seal to come loose and water to leak.  Also if you place too many items in the machine it won’t properly clean or dry your clothes.  Thanks for doing your part to keep the machines operational.

Prevent Mold/Mildew:  Clean Your Bathroom!

Please make sure you are routinely cleaning your bathroom and shower to prevent mold and mildew.  Thanks for doing your part to keep things clean.

Health and Safety Tips

Rave Guardian

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) now offers the Rave Guardian app for its students and their families. Rave Guardian is one of the best ways to not only improve personal safety, but also protect your friends by building a private safety network. This app provides instant communication with friends, family, campus safety, and even 9-1-1.

SIUE encourages all students throughout campus to utilize the app to network with friends and help increase overall safety and security of the entire student body. An important part of the Guardian app is that students can use it not only to keep themselves safe, but to help protect others. Even students who may not feel as if they need others to help keep them safe can utilize the app to be a guardian and help protect their friends.
