WEEK OF 4/25/22
HL’S PIECES
Dear Red Lions,
Once this week is over, it will be onto Reading Week and Finals! Before we get there take note that this Friday will be TD Day organized by our TD Student Activities Committee (SAC)! Aside from the inflatables filling up the lower courtyard, our TD Dining Hall will be serving up a cookout of burgers and hot dogs in the upper courtyard.
Once we hit Sunday 5/1 we will go into Reading Week and our TD Dining Hall will be open 24 hours for Quiet Study only. Please remember that Quiet Hours will be in effect at all times which means no noise from 11pm to 8am every day. We take this very seriously so that we can make sure all TDers are able to sleep and study when needed!
You should have all seen the emails sent out over the weekend by our TD Operations Manager, Zina Anwar, detailing the closing of the college and summer storage. Please read those emails very, very carefully! And remember that final checkout of your on-campus room for everyone (except the graduating seniors) is Thursday 5/12! At noon swipe access will be switched off so you’ll no longer be able to get into the TD gate or entryways. Students who are staying to work Commencement will need to move out to their assigned housing as well. No exceptions!
Here are some important events for the next couple of weeks. We’ll send out a separate note about upcoming study breaks for Reading Week:
Wednesday 4/27 TD Buttery Special – Taco Night (TD Courtyard)
The TD Buttery is proud to announce their final special of the year: Taco Night! Come to the courtyard at 9pm on Wednesday (4/27) where they will be firing up on the grill a selection of tacos with homemade salsa and your choice of carnitas, mole chicken, or seasoned potatoes and beans!
Thursday 4/28 8:30pm Baking with the TD Graduate Affiliates (TD Student Kitchen)
More delicious cookies brought to you by our wonderful Graduate Affiliates, Elton Zhou and Caroline Echeandia-Francis. So take a quick break from your final PSet and paper!
Friday 4/29 TD Day (TD Courtyard)
We celebrate the last day of classes of the Spring 2022 semester! Expect popcorn and cotton candy, super large inflatables, and a lunch time cookout of hot dogs, hamburgers, and more! Family dinner protocol will be in effect so off-campus TDers eat for free.
Friday 4/29 & Saturday 4/30 First Year Olympics
We are excited to have First Year Olympics back! Show up with our TD pride and beat everyone else (especially Silliman) in events like rap-battling, slip and slide kickball, Wii boxing, and more! The opening ceremony is 4/29 with the Olympics the next day on 4/30. If you want to join in the fun, email your co-captains at pranava.dhar@yale.edu and mia.rodriguez-vars@yale.edu!
Saturday 4/30 9pm “Light Up the Night” (Beinecke Plaza)
TD is supporting Senior Lion and Yale Club Jump Rope founder, Simone Koch Costa, with the first-ever jump rope show through the Creative and Performing Arts Award! Please join her and the team for a spectacular night time performance and mini workshop!
Wednesday 5/4 TD 4:30pm Senior Class Cocktail Reception, Photo, and Senior Dinner
We are starting off the evening’s festivities with a 4:30pm cocktail reception at the TD House patio. At 5:30pm we will convene in the upper courtyard to take the TD 2022 class photo and at 6pm we’ll move to the TD Dining Hall for dinner and a short program. So dress up for this fun evening of celebrations! All non-Seniors will need to dine in another college dining hall for the evening. Thank you for your support!
Without further ado, here is a word from Dean Mahurin…
Àshe,
HL

And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.”
