Message to Graduating

seems many of you are on the list for exit interviews and balances due on your
accounts. This is just a gentle reminder
to complete the exit interview and clear up your balance due so you will
receive your diploma during commencement.
If you go to www.yale.edu/sis,
you can complete the exit interview and pay your balance electronically there. If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to contact me. Thanks, Doreen

Interfaith Opportunities in
Reminder for the Cookout: Dear YDS, The end of the
year cookout is just around the corner (which means the end to exams and papers
is also just around the corner!) Next Friday, May 11th, all are welcome out on
the quad at
Help Needed for the Cookout:
If you have
a free moment or two on Friday, we could use some help! Each job is a volunteer position, of course,
but only takes a small amount of time....check out the list below and contact
Johanna if you can help in any way. Please,
please help out! Thanks, Johanna.baker@yale.edu and Patrick.ward@yale.edu.
Music: One person with a great
playlist to share. Bonus points if you can also take charge of setting it all
up and keeping it playing.
Set Up: 3-4 people with time to
spare from 430 -5 to help set up the quad
Grilling: 1- 2 people free around
Shopping: 1 or 2 people to help out
with shopping late that morning. We have
a driver and this should only take about 1- 1 1/2 hours.
Help Needed for BTFO: BTFO 2007 takes place this
year from Tuesday August 28 to Friday, August 31. And we very much need your help to welcome
the incoming class! As you surely
remember from your first year, BTFO would be impossible without a wonderful
crew of current students to help the incoming class get their bearings and feel
at home. We will need help in a variety of ways, listed below. Please let us
know if you're interested or if you have other ideas.
1.
Be a small group leader: (Contact nichole.flores@yale.edu) Partner with
another YDS Student to facilitate a small group of new students throughout the
week, and conduct some limited email outreach over the summer. We will need you
to be in town on Monday August 27 for "before" Before the Fall.
You'll be fed! You'll be adored! And
you'll have 6-8 new friends next year!!!!!
2.
Don’t be a small group leader but help
out as needed: (Contact patrick.c.ward@yale.edu)
Aside from small group leaders, we need folks willing to help as needed: setting up, cleaning up, tending bar,
staffing the welcome desk, etc. Can you help?
3.
Be a “stipended” member of the BTFO
steering team: (Contact patrick.c.ward@yale.edu) There are several positions available which
come with a modest stipend. While each
position has a discrete responsibility set, we'd like the group overall to function as an event
"steering team" to brainstorm ideas together and collaborate over the
next few months (email or live). Please consider one of these five slots!
a.
Meal Coordinator
b.
Childcare Coordinator
c.
International Student Orientation Coordinator
d.
Social Coordinator for nighttime outings
e.
Give-Away Room Coordinator
4.
Share your ideas! Was there something about your own BTFO
experience that was especially good? Or
especially bad? You have at least two semesters
under your belt by now. What made a positive difference? What could have made a
positive difference? Please direct
feedback to Patrick or Nichole. We are all ears!
Please
let us know if you have any questions. And
good luck wrapping up this semester. We
both look forward to working with you this summer! Peace,
Your BTFO Co-Coordinators, Nichole & Patrick
