Dear Student Group Officers,<br><br>Please take note of the following notices:<br><br>1. NEW MAIL SYSTEM<br><br>The ASA, in collaboration with SAO and the UA, is pleased to announce a new mail system for student groups in W20, which should improve the reliability of student group mail in W20.<br>
<br>Under the previous system, all student group mail was delivered to the UA office and sorted by a student worker. Effective immediately, mail will instead be received by SAO and will be sorted every Friday afternoon. Student groups that receive mail regularly can request a mailbox in the 4th floor hallway of W20; other student groups can pick up mail from SAO during normal business hours.<br>
<br>You may apply for a mailbox at <a href="http://asa.scripts.mit.edu/applications/mailboxes">http://asa.scripts.mit.edu/applications/mailboxes</a>. The deadline for completing the application is November 1.<br><br>We hope this system will provide more reliable, secure mail handling for groups. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at <a href="mailto:asa-exec@mit.edu">asa-exec@mit.edu</a>.<br>
<br><br>2. CONFIRM YOUR GROUP IS ACTIVE / FILL OUT AN ANTI-HAZING FORM<br><br>Every fall, we ask groups to sign an form to confirm that they comply with Massachusetts Anti-Hazing Laws. This year, to save paper and reduce lost transmissions, we are having you fill the form out online. Please have one of your group's officers go online to:<br>
<br><br><a href="https://asa.scripts.mit.edu:444/applications/hazing/">https://asa.scripts.mit.edu:444/applications/hazing/</a><br><br>and fill out an anti-hazing form. The form gets signed with your certificate. You can sign for more than one group.<br>
<br>IMPORTANT: Please note that we will be using the anti-hazing form to confirm that groups are still active. If your group fails to sign a form by November 10, we will consider the group inactive and begin the process of derecognizing the group.<br>
<br><br><br>Sincerely,<br><br><br>The ASA Executive Board
