Notes and News – Week of 12/18

Dear Red Lions,

This week, we wrap up the fall 2017 semester and get ready to leave campus for winter break.  We hope all of you get some good rest and time with your loved ones.

When you begin to feel recharged and ready to look ahead to the 2018 semester, please take a look at some of our special TD fellowships reserved only for our students in the college.  The applications will go live in the Yale Student Grants and Fellowships database starting in early January.  (Please note that TD seniors are not eligible to apply for the TD summer fellowships.)  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to shoot me an email at mary.lui@yale.edu

Creative and Performing Arts Awards in the Residential Colleges 

The CPA supports on-campus dramatic, musical, dance, video or film productions, literary publications, and exhibitions in each of Yale’s Residential Colleges.  For guidelines, please go to the CPA site.  The online application goes live on 1/3/2018 and closes on Monday 1/22/2018 at 4pm.  All applicants should meet with me when we’re back in January to talk over your projects before submitting an application.  

Timothy Dwight College Bergin Fellowship 

Established in honor of Thomas Bergin, former head of TD, the fellowship may be awarded to a TD student for a summer experience that may include a summer course, an internship or a work experience.  The online application goes live on 1/13/2018 and closes on March 29, 2018

Timothy Dwight Richter Summer Fellowship

Intended solely for the purposes of independent study and research, the Richter fellowship requires applicants to have a clear research agenda that goes beyond mere travel or summer course work.  Creative Projects and group research projects are valid.  The online application goes live on 1/13/2018 and closes on March 29, 2018.

Timothy Dwight Chubb Student Fellowship

This fellowship extends the work of the original 1941 gift by Hendon Chubb to encourage and support “students interested in government and public affairs.”   To reflect the ways in which the Chubb Fellowship has honored leaders in the arts, humanities, and sciences, the Chubb Fellowship may fund TD students engaged in public service or leadership development in any professional field.  However, government and public affairs will continue to take priority.  The online application goes live on 1/18/2018 and closes on March 29, 2018.

I am leaving all of you with our last “photo of the week” for 2017.  Its simply titled “Walking into 2018” and shows the youngest members of our college – Bérénice, who just took her first steps, and June – walking hand in hand through our Common Room.  I hope you all share their exuberance in looking forward to 2018!

Happy Holidays TD!!!
