Dear Red Lions,

Starting this week’s “Notes and News” with our “photo of the week” titled “We are the Champions!” featuring our incredible IM team – Angel Mora ’21, Jessica Li ’22, and Ben Scher ’23. Jade Chen ’23, the fourth member, of this powerhouse team is studying remotely this year but she has been the behind the scenes producer of the TD IMs Sportscenter videos. You can check out her latest work in this victory/highlights video!

If you did not get a chance to come by the Tyng Cup/TD Day celebration on Friday, you can still pick up your Tyng Cup and TD Day shirts. Just come by the TD Package Storeroom when it’s open. If you participated in IMs, you’re also eligible for a 3^rd shirt from Yale Athletics. To get that shirt, please email Angel Mora, Jessica Li, or Ben Scher.

Last call to share a TD memory for “Jake and Josh’s Farewell Magic Show”this Tuesday 5/11 at 8pm. You’ll find the book in the TD Common Room.

TD summer storage has officially opened for storing up to 5 boxes. You’ll also notice that a large dumpster is now on the corner of Grove and Temple so please take out your large trash items directly to the dumpster. Please reach out to KC Mills at kc.mills@yale.edu if you have any questions about storage.

You’ll also notice that Spring Salvage and a number of groups are doing donations drives and have their bins out by the Temple Street Gate.

Wednesday 5/12 8:30-10pm TD Dumpling Night (TD Upper Courtyard)

Back by popular demand, the Balbarin/Lui family will once again work with the TD Buttery and Student Kitchen to serve up pork and vegetarian dumplings. We’ll be using the recipe from my mom, Fung Lui, though slightly hacked for TD buttery purposes.

Without further ado, here is a word from Dean Mahurin…

Àshe,
HL

END OF TERM POLICIES
Remember that May 19 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 19, though, coursework may be submitted only with a Temporary Incomplete from me; your instructor cannot set deadlines or issue extensions for beyond that date, 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.

Please note that, as with Dean’s Excuses, 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 also require my intervention, and may be authorized under the same set of circumstances as Dean’s Excuses 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.
