Our “photo of the week” comes from TD alum Jorge Anaya ‘19 who captured Angel Mora ‘21 mobbed by his adoring puppy friends that include Wally and Jorge’s dog, Charli, a 10 month old Beagle mix. Toby Richkind ‘21, patiently seated next to the puppy party is also in the picture.
Now that spring is here, and folks are beginning to venture back into the courtyard we are looking to bring back two of our best TD traditions! First, our Spring Community Night will take place over Zoom from 8-9:30pm! I am excited to announce that we have received permission to livestream the performances in the TD courtyard. We are encouraging everyone to perform live since we found the live performances actually went well over Zoom. We are also happy to accept pre-recorded videos to encourage participation from remote TDers with unpredictable wifi. We also received permission to serve snacks and pull out the TD fire pits so this should be a great evening! Sign up here if you’d like to perform!
TD Berry Brunch will be back on Sunday April 18! I have been working with the TD Dining Hall to do a spectacular menu that will work with all the extra safety precautions. Our managers have met the challenge and we will absolutely celebrate berries and spring! Off-campus students will be allowed to come back onto campus and eat for free but have to stay in the TD courtyard per YCDO rules. We will set up a “grab and go” station.
Here are our events and deadlines for this week:
Tuesday 3/23 5:30pm TD Senior Mellon Forum (Hybrid)
Our third session will feature presentations by India Bhalla-Ladd, Ivy Li, and Erica Lin.
Wednesday 3/24 3pm Yale Break Day with Rubamba Food Cart (Temple Street Gate)
We celebrate our third official Yale Break Day with arepas from the Rubamba Food Cart! Everyone will be able to choose chicken, beef, or vegetables and pick your own toppings (guacamole, hot sauce, or sour cream). Each order will come with plantains if you like! Follow the staggered ordering times listed on the eflyer.
Thursday 3/25 4pm Thursday Snack Break – Margherita Surprise (TD Package Room)
Sharon Goldbloom can’t wait to share what delicious treats can be made with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil!
Without further ado, here is a word from Dean Mahurin…
Àshe,

“Love heals. Heals and liberates. I use the word love, not meaning sentimentality, but a condition so strong that it may be that which holds the stars in their heavenly positions and that which causes the blood to flow orderly in our veins.” (Maya Angelou, Mom & Me & Mom)
