  • Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students
    Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students What is quarantine? Quarantine means staying in your house for the duration of a 14-day incubation period and monitoring yourself for any potential signs of infection. Quarantining means that you can’t go out—not to work, school, or public places. While it is vital to keep in touch with friends, significant others, and family via phone or text, it is not possible to spend any time with them during the 14 days. Who must quarantine? All graduate students arriving from hot spot states or from an international location should plan to quarantine for 14 days in their graduate housing space or their off-campus residence. Quarantine must be completed prior to coming on campus for any reasons. Please see the list of restricted states for a current list of the states designated as COVID-19 hot spots. Students traveling from these states will be required to quarantine for 14 days. Students arriving from international locations also are required to quarantine for 14 days, per CDC guidance. Students from states designated as hot spots who plan to arrive on campus for the start of the semester may quarantine on their own in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) or in any state not on the NYS list of restricted states for 14 days prior to their scheduled move-in date. When should I arrive in Rochester if I need to do a 14-day quarantine? If you wish to participate in person for Welcome Week starting August 17, you should start your quarantine by August 2.

  • ECMS Carillon Tour 2104
    ECMS Fall Carillon Tour Sunday, October 5, 2014, 2-3pm, University of Rochester River Campus, Meet at Rush Rhees Library Circulation Desk Dear Participant, Welcome to this one hour carillon tour on October 5, 2014, at 2pm. The carillon is located in Rush Rhees Library on the University of Rochester campus. Students with keyboard background have proven they can learn carillon quickly, usually making rapid progress through a semester lesson series, starting on the practice carillon and progressing to playing the bells in tower. Our carillon is a 50 bell instrument played from a baton and pedal console from the desk of using hands and feet. Any carillon is defined as a chromatic, touch sensitive tuned bell instrument in chromatic sequence numbered above 23 bells. Music notation looks similar to DORIS piano music, in both treble and bass clef. This carillon tour is intended to educate our students, acquainting them with this world culture instrument. The tour is also meant to AMAN introduce the carillon to new players from our community. Adjunct Faculty, carillon Carillons are located in many of the universities of North American, including Ivy League and University of Rochester other top level achievement schools. Can you imagine the interview talking points for River Campus Music Department students announcing they play carillon to admissions officials of such schools? For our adult [email protected] community members, the carillon offers a fun “hands on” way to serve the campus community on a public instrument. Carillons need intergenerational carillon players. Phone: 585-671-7297 (hm), preferred Hopeman Carillon concerts during the school year are usually played by teams of carillon 585-733-1308 (cell) day of tour students including collegiate and community alumni participants.
