News: August 2007

Schoolyard Olympics Schedule

Friday, August 31 2007 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: orientation week, schoolyard olympics, event

The schedule for Schoolyard Olympics has been finalized and put on the 'events' page. Out of the 58 total residential houses, 50 of them have signed up to participate in this year's event... A new high for this event! This large kickoff event for Welcome Week and IRHC is coming in two days, and everyone is looking forward to it being a great one.

Schoolyard Olympics Update

Tuesday, August 28 2007 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: orientation week, schoolyard olympics, event

The whiffle ball tournament during Schoolyard Olympics has been completely canceled. There was a few reasons for it, but to make a long story short, it's been replaced by the home run derby. We hope this replacement is even more fun then last year's whiffle ball tournament and look forward to having another great event for the residents to enjoy.

Orientation Begins!

Sunday, August 26 2007 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: orientation week

Over the last few days, about 1500 students have moved into the three residence halls. Monday marks the beginning of Orientation, a week long experience that all new students go through before classes. All of us from IRHC wish these students the best of luck as they start their life as Huskies.

Website Finished

Monday, August 20 2007 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: website

Our website is 'finished'! There are no more *under construction* pages left, and any blank areas are merely waiting for the school year to start so we can start putting up more IRHC information. However, as we have events right away during Orientation Week, be sure to keep your eyes open for updates as new events come up and old events get photos.

More Events Info Online

Check out the Upcoming Events page to view more info about our September events, which is all available in the calendar formats available for download.

More Updates

Tuesday, August 14 2007 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: website

Over the last few days our site has been once again updated. The history page now has records and information about the past of IRHC, including fantastic low-resolution pictures of IRHC events and members. The largest change is internal, as usual. With the update of gd by Aux Tech we now can upload, resize, and thumbnail images in our event gallery. Be sure to check back after a few events to see some cool pictures.

Homepage Slideshow

Wednesday, August 8 2007 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: website

Almost 100 images have been added to the slideshow on the homepage today! While this looks totally awesome, the speed of loading different parts of the page are now severely impacted. We'll try to optimize it so the rest of the page isn't slower while maintaining the variety and quality of pictures on the show. Hope you enjoy them!

Update: The slideshow has been shortened but fixed. Also, it is now easier for IRHC members to choose what pictures appear on the slideshow, so there is still a variety of images to view.

More Site Updates

Monday, August 6 2007 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: website

Once again, there are plenty of updates. You can now view a list of the current IRHC members under 'About Us', as well as view more information on the featured event, Schoolyard Olympics. Other minor changes have been made, including: increasing w3c compliant pages, fixing a bug in the featured event area, and beginning groundwork for the projects pages. Keep checking back to see more updates on the site.

IRHC Office Redone

Thursday, August 2 2007 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: office

The Inter-Residence Hall Council has a new desk! That's right, with the recent renovations up at Danielle Heights Apartments, our organization received a nice large corner desk straight from the 1970s. This new furniture is the largest improvement our office has received since we first obtained it several years ago.
