Don't Miss Out on Summer Deadlines or Awesome On-Campus Events!

 Hey Dwight Hall!

 

This week's D-Holla features a few more summer & spring break opportunites. Don't hold off on reading through them - the deadlines for most fall this weekend!

 

If you're looking for something a bit sooner, check out our Service Opportunities column! You can give blood for the Red Cross Harvard-Yale Blood Drive Challenge, volunteer with YHHAP for Abraham's Tent Week, or check out some very relevant panels, discussions, and films in youth activism and human rights. Both Dwight Hall member groups (see Starlabs & Yale Children's Theater) and community non-profits (see Neighborhood Housing Services or AIDS Project New Haven) are searching for Yale volunteers, so get yourselves out there!

 

Enjoy the wintry mix while it lasts!

Yours,

Jennifer Friedmann

Dwight Hall PR Coordinator
