Dear Red Lions,
Hope everyone had a wonderful Yale break day last Friday! Thanks to TD Photography Aide, Alisia Pan, we have yet another terrific set of photos capturing our TD field trip to Mystic Aquarium. And here is our “photo of the week” featuring the photographer herself and her two suitemates, Vivian Wang and Lila Selin.
Wednesday, Apr. 28, 7-8pm
Rehearsal 2
Wednesday, May 5, 7-8pm
Recording session
Wednesday, May 12, 6:30-7:30
(In case of rain, hold May 11 and 13)
We ask that all TDers stay out of the upper courtyard during the three sessions. You may pause to watch and listen if you like, but you have to remain in the lower courtyard and away from the singers. We’ll send out more directions the week of 5/10 to ensure that the courtyard area is as quiet as possible for their recording session on 5/12. We have all missed live music-making so much this year and are excited to have the Glee Club here!
I am delighted to announce that the Yale Office of Sustainability recognized our great Operations Manager, KC Mills, in their “2021 Residential College Sustainability Awards”! KC and the TD Staff were named “Campus Keeper” for their amazing work in prioritizing “student health and well-being to allow for safe campus life” this year! Congratulations!!!
Our new SAC leadership, Eve Chinea ’24 and Isa Dominguez ’24, has come up with a great e-study break alternative for the Reading Period for anyone not on campus this semester. SAC will be offering $10 Grubhub gift certificates to students living off-campus (enrolled and on LOA). An Amazon gift certificate will also be offered to TDers living in an area not serviced by Grubhub. Please go here to register. Form closes at 11:59pm on Sunday 5/2.
Last but not least… please save the date for a big TD celebration on 5/7!!! It won’t be TD Day as we’ve known it but it will be special. More to come!
Here are our events and deadlines for this week:

ACADEMIC STRATEGIES EVENT
Five things I Wish I Knew as a College Student:
A discussion about Money and Finances with Tara Falcone ‘11
Thursday, April 29, 7-8 PM ET
https://yale.zoom.us/j/99214839916?from=addon
Come learn about financial literacy for college students with Tara Falcone ‘11. Tara is a Certified Financial Planner pro, a CFA charterholder, former hedge fund analyst, first-generation low-income Yale graduate, and the founder of ReisUp. At her core she is a blue-collar girl from small-town America, and because of that, she has a unique perspective on money and is committed to helping you achieve your financial goals.
BUCKLEY PROGRAM
The William F. Buckley, Jr. Program is dedicated to elevating campus discourse around contemporary issues of foreign and domestic policy. Our 350+ fellows come from a diverse array of political backgrounds, but all are united by a common interest in how campus dialogue shapes national conversations. Join and experience lectures and seminars, Career Chats, Firing Line Debates, fellow-exclusive trips, and an annual conference with policy experts, professors, and politicians over the course of the year.
To check out the roster of past and upcoming events, please visit our website. Our 5 minute application is due by May 19th. There is no fee to join or participate in any of our events. Please feel free to reach out to our Recruitment Director, Libby Snowden, at libby.snowden@yale.edu if you have any questions!
SUMMER EXPERIENCE AWARD
Summer Experience Award (formerly known as the Domestic Summer Award)
Enhancements have been made to the former DSA. Review the changes on the Office of Career Strategy website and check out the Frequently Asked Questions. The application for the Summer Experience Award (SEA) is in Yale Career Link and the deadline to apply is May 1, 2021. Important updates include:
- Eligible students may use the SEA for their choice of an internship, research experience or arts apprenticeship in the U.S. or abroad.
- If the experience is in the U.S., the award will be $4,000. If the experience is outside the U.S., the award will be $6,000.
- The SEA is the former DSA, therefore students who have previously used their DSA are not eligible.
- Inquiries can be sent to sea@yale.edu
