WEEK OF 4/29/2024
HL’S PIECES
We are officially in Reading Week! So we have shifted into 24 hour study in the TD Dining Hall and nightly study breaks to get you over the finish line!
Congratulations to Mott & SAC for another fun-filled TD Day and great merch! I am sorry I missed it because of a conference but I heard it was a gorgeous day and the mechanical bull was a hit. You can see more photos from TD photography aide, Demi Lee by going to this link.
Our “photo of the week” comes from Sophomore lion Celene Bennett who helped to organize KASAMA dinner featuring the home cooking of Dr. B who shared family recipes of chicken adobo, sinigang, bibingka, and more! It was great to see so many TDers come out for this dinner!
Without further ado, here is a very quick word from Dean Mahurin…
Àshe,
HL

The Best of It
Kay Ryan
However carved up
or pared down we get
we keep on making
the best of it as though
it doesn’t matter that
our acre’s down to
a square foot. As
though our garden
could be one bean
and we’d rejoice if
it flourishes, as
though one bean
could nourish us.
THE DATES AND DEADLINES SECTION IS MOSTLY COOKED
May 2, Thursday: Final Examinations Begin, 7pm
May 8, Wednesday: Final Examinations End!
BUT BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO STUDYING, HEED THESE IMPORTANT NOTES ON END OF TERM
Remember that, in addition to being the last day of exams, May 8 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 8, coursework may be submitted only with a Temporary Incomplete from me; your instructor cannot set deadlines or issue extensions for beyond May 8, 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.
As with Dean’s Extensions, 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 (via ABX: “All But eXam”) also require my intervention, and may be authorized under the same set of circumstances as Dean’s Extensions 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.
