Hey Dwight Hall!
Welcome back! I hope you've returned from break feeling refreshed and ready to jump into the spring cycle of social justice at Yale!
This Saturday marks a big day for Dwight Hall: the Women's Day of Service. Women (and men, if you're interested) from all colleges, classes, and organizations on campus will spend an afternoon (10-2) supporting women, children, and families in the New Haven community by working with a variety of organizations whose services expressly benefit and empower women. Organizations range from women and children's shelters to AIDS clinics and book banks. Meals and transportation will be provided. This event is presented by Dwight Hall, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gama, Pi Beta Phi, and the Yale Women's Center. If you haven't signed up yet, click here.
In other news, sign ups for the YHHAP Fast are currently going on - the Fast itself will take place on April 8. There's a Harry Potter Trivia Night fundraiser sponsored by Nourish International and a fantastic seminar on how to write op-eds this Friday. Impact: Global Poverty is looking for proposals, and FOCUS wants both participants and leaders. And there are still a few summer opportunities floating around!
Hope you have a great end to March,
Jennifer Friedmann
Dwight Hall PR Coordinator
