Dear Red Lions,
With make-up exams completed and a weekend of rest, I hope you are all excited for the start of the new semester!
Please don’t forget that these next two weeks are on Zoom. So if you live with roommates/suitemates, it may not be possible to have everyone logging onto Zoom at the same time. It will be especially difficult when attending discussion-based seminars that require unmuting and talking. So I advise everyone to work out alternative spaces before the first class of the day.
Our “photo of the week” was sent in before the break by Demi Lee and Amay Tewari, our wonderful TD photography aides. They did this wonderful thank you card to our TD Dining Hall staff that I wanted to share with everyone here.
Because we are still in Phases 1 and 2 of Arrival Quarantine, we will not be doing any public programming this coming week. Hopefully, we will be able to move forward with small gatherings next week.
In the meantime, here are some important events/deadlines for the next few weeks:
Monday 1/31 11:59pm CPA Grant Deadline
Last call for CPA applications to support performing, literary, visual, or mixed-media art making on campus. Please go to the CPA webpage to get a sense of the different funding categories and set amounts available as well as to access the application link. If you have not yet checked in with me about your project, please do so before submitting your application. To schedule an appointment for this week, feel free to email deanna.caplan@yale.edu.
Tuesday 2/8 5:30pm First Senior Mellon Forum of Spring 2022 Semester (Save the Date)
We are aiming to restart TD Senior Mellon forum on 2/8 when we will hopefully be back to in-person classes. If you have not yet signed up to present this spring and would still like to, it is not too late! You just need to go to this link and sign-up! And if you are in need of funding for senior thesis research, please apply through theFellowships database. Just search under “Timothy Dwight Mellon” to get to the application. Awards are capped at $500 but may be applied to research materials and travel for independent or senior thesis projects. Recipients are also required to present their research at the TD Senior Mellon forum. So please make sure to sign-up for a presentation slot!
Sunday 2/13 IRIS RUN for Refugees Virtual Run Sign-up
A special annual run that raises funds for New Haven’s Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS) to provide vital services such as housing, job placement, health care, English language instruction, and more. This year we have been given approval to support student participation in the virtual run. TD will sponsor 25 student runners to participate on a first-come, first-served basis. To register please go to this link and use complimentary code “TD 2022” at the registration checkout to get your free entry sponsored by the college.
Without further ado, here is a word from Dean Mahurin...
