Notes and News – Week of 10/15
HL’s Pieces
Dear Red Lions,
We had a great week with many special guests coming into the college. We were especially thrilled to welcome back Clemantine Wamariya TD ’13 who stopped into the courtyard and gave a tea as part of her book tour for The Girl Who Smiled Beads.
I hope many of you enjoyed yesterday’s gorgeous “Fall Fest” on Old Campus. Our “photo of the week” is titled “TD Pumpkin Carvers” and comes from Froco Davey Proctor and features, from left to right, first-years Sabrina Garcia, Christian Bell, Virginia Davis, and Kat Melnyk. For those of you who missed the event, TD will have its own pumpkin carving event on Friday 10/26, just in time for Halloween!
Speaking of fall, our TD Operations Manager KC Mills is puppy sitting this week! If you haven’t already seen Autumn and would like to visit, feel free to go to KC’s office between 2-4pm or just hang out in the TD Courtyard. Otherwise, the puppy will likely be snoozing away since their growing bodies need about 18 hours of sleep per day!
As we head into Fall Break, please use our TD Fall Break guide put together by our TD Outreach Aides team to find fun and new things to do in the City of New Haven. Please know that the TD student kitchen remains available for use. During the business day, you can sign out a key from the TD Head of College office. But after hours, you can contact one of the kitchen aides on duty for a key.
Here are our important events for this week:
Wednesday 10/17 TD Fall Break Trip to the Frick Museum (NYC)
The trip with with Stephen Scher ’56 to the Frick Museum in New York City is now full. Everyone who obtained a spot has been contacted to pick up their roundtrip train tickets at the Head of College office by Tuesday afternoon.
Thursday 10/18 1-3pm Paint Splatter Wall Art (TD Art Studio or TD Courtyard)
Over the break, the Art Studio aides will be holding a “paint-splatter wall art” workshop. If weather permits, the art making will head outside. Just come on down to the art studio for some painting and fun!
And here are some exciting events for the following week when we return from break:

TwoSet Violin, the comedy music duo and Youtube sensation consisting of Brett Yang and Eddy Chen, will be in TD for a conversation and performance! These classically-trained musicians have been performing to sell out audiences on their North American tour and have over 1 million viewers on their videos!!! We are very lucky to have them stop into TD before they head down to New York City and perform to a sell out audience at Merkin Hall! Come early to get your seats – we’ll open the TD doors at 4:15pm.
Thursday 10/25 4:30-6pm Tea with Lisa Rosenblum TD ’75, ”Yale, Athletics, Telecommunications, Government: Reflections on Building a Career” (TD House)

An alum of one of the first classes of women at Yale, Ms. Rosenblum was also the Captain of the Yale Women’s Tennis Team and its most valuable player. We are delighted to welcome her back to TD to discuss her long and successful career in the telecommunications industry.
