As you may recall from before spring break, congratulations to MHOOPS (Men’s Basketball) for winning their league! IM sports will continue after spring break. Trumbull is currently ranked 4th for the Tyng Cup (the overall IMs champions trophy), but if we show up in full force during this last month of IMs, we will earn our spot in the top 3. There are three sports you can join: volleyball, indoor soccer, and netball (basically like basketball without a backboard – this is still being confirmed, it may also be handball – we will update as soon as we know). Please click on the links to join the appropriate GroupMes, as that is the main way we communicate during the season! To celebrate the start of the season and encouraging signing up and asking questions about volleyball, indoor soccer, and netball, the intramural secretaries will be hosting another event with free Donuts and hot chocolate from Donut Crazy in the Buttery this Sunday from 7-9 pm. If you are even remotely interested in learning more about Intramurals, come down, have a donut and chat. Or if you are a frequent attendee of intramural events feel free to come down, have a donut, and tell people how awesome IMs are! Please reach out to either George Lan ‘24 or Lael Joseph ‘25 or Victoria DeMersseman ‘25 for details.

Yale OPAC has a full-time opportunity. This role is for students who are eager to develop, coordinate, and manage news, information, and stories about Yale, while also contributing to institutional communications strategy, reputation management, and crisis communications. Students will have the opportunity to influence both internal and external perceptions of Yale while highlighting incredible stories and achievements of our university.

At this stage of spring semester, everything speeds up - so it’s important to pace yourselves, work hard but rest easy. Every Monday in April (April 1st – April 22nd @ 1 – 1:30pm) at the Good Life Center lounge in YSC is Mindfulness Monday, which is a new YC3 program that explores meditation skills that can help benefit the body and mind; while being effective for stress management solutions.
Moo-Rah!
Sincerely,
Head Hyder
