TD Notes and News – Week of 1/23
Head of College’s Pieces
Dear Red Lions,
Welcome to week 2 of shopping period! Hopefully, most of you have settled on your classes and are ready to turn in your schedules.
We have another quiet week in TD as we get the spring semester off the ground. But please know that IMs are up and running! This week’s “photo of the week” titled “Unkown 5” show our wonderful team (from left to right) of Kaitlin Cardon ‘19, Max Yuhas ‘20, Maggie Wellborn ‘18, Jack Atwater ‘19, and Maraya Keny-Guyer ‘19 victorious in our first ever Broom Ball match. TD is currently in third place and we can easily close the gap with a lot of enthusiastic participation!
We would love to get all TD swimmers to come out tonight for the one-night swim competition at Payne Whitney Gym. For more information, feel free to write your IM secretaries at kaitlin.cardon@yale.edu, david.amanfu@yale.edu, briggs.bulkeley@yale.edu, or maraya.keny-guyer@yale.edu.
Speaking of competitions, we now have 2 teams signed up for the Final Cut competition! Please come to the dining hall this Wednesday night, to see the two teams compete for the honor of representing TD at the big Iron Chef Competition on Tuesday 2/21/2017!
Here are wonderful events coming up for next week:
Tuesday 1/31 6-7:30pm Senior Sushi Night (TD House)
All TD seniors are invited to the TD House for a wonderful celebration of your class. The count down to graduation starts now so we’ll take this night to celebrate all that you have already done … and will do in your last semester at Yale.
Wednesday 2/1 4:30pm Tea with Simona Petrova (TD House)
TD is honored to host Ms. Petrova of the United Nations Chief Executives Board which brings together the leaders of all UN system organizations, including the World Bank and the IMF. Originally from Bulgaria, she holds a degree in international law from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in MA and has worked at the UN for nearly 25 years. Throughout her UN career, she has served as Director of the Executive Office of the Secretary-General, worked as Chief of Staff of the Under-Secretary-General for Management and worked at the UN Development Programme, where, in the early 1990s, she opened the UN offices in the five Central Asian countries. She was also a member of the team that established the UN Peacebuilding Support Office. This event is jointly co-sponsored by the Yale Women’s Leadership Initiative.
Wednesday 2/1 8pm TD Community Night (TD Dining Hall)
Our wonderful TD tradition is back! Please sign up for a slot to share your wonderful gift of music, laughter, dance, juggling, etc. Once again we are fortunate to have TD sophomore Dennis Vu organize this amazing night! Help him out by signing up on this survey early!!!
Without further ado, here is a word from Dean Mahurin…

Bilbea
Carl Sanburg
Bilbea, I was in Babylon on Saturday night.
I saw nothing of you anywhere.
I was at the old place and the other girls were there, but no Bilbea.
Have you gone to another house? or city?
Why don’t you write?
I was sorry. I walked home half-sick.
Tell me how it goes.
Send me some kind of a letter.
And take care of yourself.
