Valentine's Week Edition

  Hey Dwight Hall!

 

Summer opportunities are still making an appearance for a while, but this week is full of events in itself! Don't miss one of the many info sessions about volunteer opportunities in New Haven and abroad (see the ones for City Fellows & Breakthrough National Teaching Internship). If you're so inclined, the International Development & Gift Bazaar, Habitat for Humanity, and Yale Rotaract offer plenty of ways to prepare for Valentine's Day. And mark your calendar for the Rock to Rock Earth Day kick-off party at Koffee?, or the tea with the director of Seeds of Peace!

 

As always, email me with your questions, concerns, and events --

 

Yours,

Jennifer Friedmann

Dwight Hall PR Coordinator
