WEEK OF 8/29/22
HL’S PIECES
Welcome to the new 2022-23 academic year and our first edition of Notes and News, our weekly TD newsletter!
For those of you who are new to TD, please know that our weekly newsletter comes out every Monday – with the exception of holidays – and it is chock full of important information about our college. In my portion, I will share event listings, application deadlines, and other important TD announcements. In Dean’s portion, she will offer important academic deadlines and opportunities and a poem for the week.
AND we feature a “photo of the week” submitted by a member of our TD community – students, staff, administrators, and fellows –capturing life inside and outside of our courtyard. If you would like to send in a photo, please write up a caption and name who is in the photo and shoot it my way.
Our TD Dining Hall is hiring student managers so if anyone is interested, please email our Dining Hall Manager, Samantha Moore, at Samantha.moore@yale.edu.
Here are some more important TD events and dates for the next two weeks:
Tuesday 8/30 5:30-7:30pm TD First Years Dinner (TD Dining Hall)

Weekly SAC meetings are on Mondays at 10:23 P.M. in the Common Room. Join in the brainstorming and help make your ideas come true, or just come for some pizza and to be in the know!

SAC is excited to host its first big courtyard event of the year… and it will be a movie night! Grab a blanket and your friends to sit back, relax, and enjoy the end of add/drop with a movie. They’ll be showing “Coco” and passing out movie candy, you won’t want to miss it!
