TD Notes and News – Week of 2-20
Head of College’s Pieces
Dear Red Lions,
We had a very fun foodie weekend in the college. And our “photos of the week” celebrate this great TD culinary energy.
Our first ever “TD Ramen Night” was a great hit thanks to the hard work of Dr. B and the Buttery Staff – Tongil Ko ’18, Jack Atwater ’19, and Michael Ai ’20 – who chopped, simmered, and ran sous vide baths all weekend long to get all the special ingredients prepared. They also received a great deal of help from our Dining Hall staff and the many Buttery volunteers and staff. I hope many of you got to sample their cooking!
And many thanks go to our neighbor, Katalina’s Cupcakes, for taking the time to come bake with TDers this Sunday afternoon. This is the 2nd year Katalina has come to TD and each year we are so grateful for the lessons and yummy treats!
Speaking of our New Haven neighbors, the New Haven Outreach Aides (Abdul-Razak Zachariah and Vicky Gebert) are looking for TD students who are interested in filming a traffic safety video for the new crosswalk signs that the City of New Haven installed on Wall Street! This video would be distributed among TD students and possibly live on the city’s Department of Transportation, Traffic & Parking. The video will serve as a fun presentation on how to safely navigate the intersection of Temple and Wall Streets. If you are interested, please email Abdul-Razak Zachariah at abrazak.zachariah@yale.edu to learn more.
Please note that we are are also extending the Aides Application to this Wednesday 2/22. If you need the application, please scroll to the bottom or this email and you’ll see the attachment!
Here are our important events for this week:
Tuesday 2/21 5-8pm Iron Chef Competition (Commons)

PEABODY MUSEUM INTERNSHIPS
COMMUNICATION AND CONSENT EDUCATOR (CCE) APPLICATIONS
Interested in becoming a CCE? The CCE mission is to foster a more positive sexual climate by engaging students from across campus. Working together and in collaboration with their communities, the CCES work to create space—both literally and figuratively—for mindful social and sexual choices. The CCEs also serve as a resource for students who have experienced or heard about sexual misconduct, providing a peer avenue to SHARE, the UWC, Title IX, and the Yale Police. The CCEs are paid employees of the YCDO, and generally work 5 to 10 hours per week with longer hours during training periods. There’s no need for prior experience in sexual violence prevention, just a desire to make Yale a better place; optimism, creativity, and humor are helpful, too! This is a small mid-cycle hiring round, filling in potential gaps. For more information or to apply, please visit yale.edu/cce. Applications are due Feb. 26.
