Erin invited a friend to cover the lobby desk while she breaks for lunch today. When students found out he was cold, they found him a @burton snowboarding jacket and some homemade mittens. Not to worry, he quarantined for 14 days since arriving from VT and was screened before entering the building. Have a great weekend, y'all!
