Hank will also be available for several pH clinics after the seminar held in labs around campus where he will look at instrumentation and provide some hands on testing of equipment and electrodes. Hank has indicated these clinics would be particularly useful to users attempting to measure pH in the areas of Environmental Science and Foods and Nutrition as their samples are typically more challenging.
Troy Life & Fire Safety will be performing fire alarm inspections throughout campus beginning Monday, June 20/16. As part of the inspections, there will be testing of alarms, however, there will be an audible notification stating this is a test at the beginning and when the test is completed. The building occupants are not required to evacuate during the testing period. The ringing of alarms is required to test their function and to ensure the speakers work throughout the building.

This removal is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 25, 2016. Two (2) trees will be planted to replace the removed tree, in either the existing location or at a new location on campus.
