Faculty and Staff in Residence Halls - New Security Request
While we love having faculty and staff in residence halls for programming, workorder responses, and visits of all kinds, we need to step up our security a bit. Sometimes students are nervous when they see an unfamiliar person in their "home."
Starting in August, we are requesting that all faculty/staff visitors in our residence halls wear or display their AU ID. We realize it can be inconvenient but believe this is a reasonable safety request on the part of our students.
Thank you all for helping us with this and please contact Kathy Woughter ([email protected]) if you have questions or concerns.

Carl, who retired from the University in 1998, was considered an expert on details of sparkling wine production as well as the still and sparkling wines of New York State and Australia. In particular, he did research attempting to decrease time in the barrel for sparkling wines while also attaining the sensory qualities associated with those that had been aged three-five years.
He was a member of Union University Church, Alfred; the American Wine Society; and the American Society for Enology and Viticulture. Carl was a certified wine judge in all of the United States, Canada, and Australia. He won numerous awards for amateur wines and champagnes in national wine
competitions.
