WEEK OF 4/24/2023
HL’S PIECES
Hard to believe but we are in our last week of classes! This means TD Day is this Friday April 28th so if you haven’t already marked your calendars please do and get ready for the bouncing fun to begin at 11am with the cookout starting at 12pm. So far no rain in the forecast… fingers crossed it stays that way.
Anyone walking past our TD gallery probably noticed the amazing crochet art by Emily Xu ’24 that is titled, “My Mother, before She Was my Mother.” Emily’s piece will be up until next Monday 5/1. And then Megan Briggs TD ’24 will have her senior photography show up through graduation. Stop by to admire the work and congratulate our visual artists.
With the Reading Period beginning this weekend, the TD Dining Hall will once again open up for 24 hour quiet study. Our TD SAC will once again host their study breaks to get everyone fueled since the TD Buttery will be closed after this Thursday’s service. I’ll send out a full list of food and non-food study breaks later this week.
A special closing of the college email will be coming from TD Operations Manager, Samantha Gambardella. So please be on the look out for her instructions.
Without further ado, here is a word from Dean Mahurin…
Àshe,
HL

Traveling Light
Dabney Stuart
Moving through still time, its opposite,
it creates no friction. They are both gifts,
one the infinite eye of the needle
the other threads. Occupies.
Emptiness is full of itself,
a never air, the lens for being.
In the long way of this place,
the afterthought of gasses becomes
what we tune in, its tickless
preoccupation and amaze our present.
If such light made a sound
it would be as if the wide spacewind
formed a bell of itself,
and a smaller wind within, and rang.

END OF TERM POLICIES
Remember that, in addition to being the last day of exams, May 10 is also the final possible date for the submission of term papers and term projects. Of course, individual instructors may set deadlines for earlier than this date, even as they have full discretion to set deadlines as late as this date. Beyond May 10, coursework may be submitted only with a Temporary Incomplete from me; your instructor cannot set deadlines or issue extensions for beyond May 10, even in graduate or professional school courses. Yale College considers such deadlines and extensions invalid, and the work will not be counted toward your grade.
As with Dean’s Extensions, the Academic Regulations permit Temporary Incompletes in only a limited range of circumstances; contact me right away if you anticipate needing one so that we can discuss your situation. Postponements of scheduled final examinations (via ABX: “All But eXam”) also require my intervention, and may be authorized under the same set of circumstances as Dean’s Extensions and Temporary Incompletes. As always, if you find yourself in any kind of trouble relating to the submission of work or the taking of exams, let me know right away – I’m very happy to consult on these points.
