Trumbull’s IM secretary team (Lily Hyde, Elena Ohe, Holly Tran, and Lindsay Willis) would like you to know that they will have SIX sports for Trumbull athletes to join. IMs are a great way to build community, stay active, and have fun with your friends. Please join regardless of prior experience! Even if you have barely played a sport or can only attend a couple of games, there is a place for you on Trumbull teams. The IM team hopes to bring back the Tyng Cup this year, so we need all hands on deck! Please join any of the GroupMe’s below to receive information about each sport’s weekly schedules. Also, follow @trumbull.ims on Instagram for full schedules, game pics, and event information! For any questions about the specifics or rules of any sport, please see the Yale IMs official website.

Corn Hole
Flag Football
Pickleball
RoundNet (Spikeball)
Soccer
Table Tennis (Ping Pong)
 

Josie Marks is the Donor Outreach Coordinator of the American Red Cross @ Yale. They are hosting drives again and would appreciate student participation! The American Red Cross @ Yale will host drives on September 17th and 18th (10am – 4pm) at Dwight Hall Common Room.

Interested in making a difference? Join the Title IX Student Advisory Board. The Title IX Student Advisory Board is a group of Yale College and graduate and professional students who meet periodically to provide guidance and student perspectives to the Title IX Office. Advisory board members also participate in the development and implementation of initiatives to promote a climate of inclusion and respect at Yale. For more information and to apply, please visit the Title IX website or reach out directly to October Mohr (october.mohr@yale.edu) in the Title IX Office. 

A part of my responsibility as HoC is to promote intellectual life. While we already have lined up some exciting speakers, please suggest a speaker (at Yale or beyond), or an activity. Please write to me.

On a personal note, I will be traveling to conferences during middle to late September. But you can always reach me by email. Additionally, Associate Head Anita Sharif-Hyder is also available should you wish to reach out by email for a meal or to have a brief chat. I remind you of the many resources that you have already heard about, but others you may discover by asking. Please continue to reach out to me by email, in the dining hall, or just find me at the office.

Sincerely, MOO-RAH!

Fahmeed Hyder, HoC Trumbull
