WEEK OF 11/28/22
HL’S PIECES
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great break whether relaxing or feasting. Speaking of which our “photo of the week” comes from Iris Yang ‘24, TD Photography Aide, who took this great picture of TDers enjoying the Harvest Dinner the Thursday before break.
For more photos please go to this folder where you will see many more of the Harvest dinner!
Speaking of the TD Dining Hall, I am writing to share the exciting news that Samantha Moore has changed positions and is now our new Operations Manager for the college!!! So many of you will now be seeing Samantha throughout TD and out of her chef’s uniform!
I am delighted to announce that Ellen Habelow has stepped into the position of Interim General Manager for our Dining Hall. Since joining us this August, Ellen has become an indispensable part of TD in making us feel at home in the Dining Hall. The DH could not be in better hands!!! We also welcome Kristin Elliot who is stepping in as the guest experience manager.
I hope many of you enjoyed the big Yale victory over Harvard! Special congratulations are in order to our four Red Lions who were awarded all-Ivy honors: Nick Gargiulo TD ‘23, Wande Owens TD ‘24, Joshua Pitsenberger TD ‘26, and Cubby Schuller TD ‘23! The team also elected Wande Owens to be their new captain… way to go Wande!!!
Here are some wonderful events for the next two weeks:

Friday 12/9 8pm “A Soldier’s Play” (Shubert Theater)
TD will be giving out 10 tickets for the 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning thriller by Charles Fuller, “A Soldier’s Play”, at the downtown Shubert Theater. The play centers around the mysterious murder of a Black sergeant on a Louisiana Army base in 1944. The play stars Emmy, Tony, and SAG Award nominee Norm Lewis alongside an accomplished cast. We will be sending out a link for students to sign up for the lottery for the tickets.
Saturday 12/10 TD Holiday Dinner (TD Dining Hall)
Our amazing dining hall staff will be turning out yet another fabulous holiday dinner! Family dinner protocol will be in effect so only TD students will be invited to this dinner. Off-campus Lions may eat for free. If you do not have your TD sticker, please come to the TD office during business hours to get one. First-year lions, you will get to partake in the “Parade of Comestibles” at Commons.
We are working on a schedule of study breaks as we wrap up classes and head into reading week and finals. Without further ado, here is a word from Dean Mahurin…
Àshe,
HL

Impersonal
Jessica Nelson North
Rain falls, and finds
Nothing indelible. Rain erases
Footprints of kings and the traces
Of thieves from terrace and walls,
And the bright trail
That the snail leaves when he passes
Through dusty grasses.
