The Facts:

The Music Interest floor, located on the ninth floor of Wilder Tower, has been a community of musicians and music lovers since 1976. As a non-profit organization the musicians are dedicated to promoting music at the university as well as in the community of Rochester. MIF is partially responsible for the “Schoolhouse Rock” fundraising concert that benefits Rochester city school music programs. MIF also flexes their charity muscle by hosting a benefit concert at the Rochester Psychiatric center.

What to Expect:

Future events include a joint performance with the Gregory St. Blues band as well as other MIF member performances. MIF’s continued dedication to charity work incorporates their love of music and is impressive for a special interest housing group.

Apply now to live on MIF next year! Members get the luxury of rocking out with other music lovers in addition to doing community service.

The Walk for Light is an SA sponsored biennial assessment of campus safety, involving analyzation of outdoor lighting quality, blue light phone availability, and overall impression of various areas.  A team of students and administrators from Facilities and Security were assigned to each section of the River Campus in order to gather information for the final report.  The Walk took place back in November of last year, and after hard work by the Joe Ciminelli and Calvin Yoon from the Projects & Services Committee, that report is now available.  This three page outline of Security hazards on campus will serve as a starting place for potential improvements to campus over the next two years.
