#open-house

Jijivisha’s Meyhane night

Tucked within the colorful city of Radz-at-Han is the house of Jijivisha, known amongst the locals as a shelter, offering their services to those in need so they can get a brief respite and reclaim some of their dignity. Once a moon, their doors open for the general public to get themselves known and to gather funds to continue their work within the community.

Come experience a slice of Thavnairian culture; Music, good company and laughter (and alcohol, lots of it); this is how meyhane should be enjoyed! (You must be 18/21+ to attend the meyhane open house.)

A message from UM CIO Matt Riley:

The UM Solutions Center launched this month to provide an online hub for UM students, faculty and staff to access IT services, support, and self-help articles. We invite you to join us at an open house Friday, February 2 between 9-11 a.m. in UC 225 to visit with IT support staff and demo the Solutions Center. We will be serving coffee, tea and bagels. There's no set program, so stop by any time.

More about the UM Solutions Center

The Solutions Center is a partnership between eight units on campus seeking to provide a single modern, integrated tool for requesting services and support. The ultimate goal is to provide one online location for many types of campus services and support beyond just IT.

I invite you to check out the UM Solutions Center website at umt.edu/solutions and watch the one-minute introductory video. We hope to see you Friday.

For the love of reading, studying together, and researching the library holds many stories. The history of libraries began with the first efforts to organize collections of documents.

With more than 450,000 books in its collection, the Mount Vernon Public Library is the Central Library in the Westchester Library System, the sixth largest public library in the state and the second largest in the New York City region.
