It’s a big day….. 

It’s election day.  I left the house at 6 a.m. this morning to drive to my polling place in Madison, Ct. – at Exit 61 just off Route 95.   It is a clear, beautiful fall day.   Lines were long but they moved quickly.   By the time I arrived back in Trumbull I found that the rest of our Trumbull staff had voted as well.  Do the same.  Vote (if you’re a US citizen, and, if not, encourage your friends to vote today.)  Then gather in our Trumbull Dining Hall beginning at 8 p.m. to watch the returns.

I hope everyone, whether you stayed on campus, went home, went to someone else’s home or did a little traveling, had a fall break with opportunities to connect with friends and families, sleep and wake up with no alarm.  I hope all were able to get outside as leaves change and the weather remains good (or perhaps is always good where your home is.)  I hope you got some exercise.

Despite last week involving lots of work to be done, tests to take, and problem sets to hand it, it was a lovely fall week and weekend.  I hope all were able to enjoy it.  I know for sure that at least some of you did (as you’ve posted photos from hikes on Facebook.

It’s a truly busy time in Trumbull and in Yale College given the arrival of mid-terms, family weekend this past weekend and many, many groups performing and athletic competitions occurring including varsity competitions, club competitions, and IMs.

A Happy Rosh Hashana.

Today I wish all Jewish members of our Trumbull Community a very happy Rosh Hashana.  To them and, indeed, to each and every one of you in our community I wish you the best for a sweet and joyous coming year. 

(There are still tickets available for the High Holy Days services and meals at the Slifka Center available in the Head’s office.  Come by if you want one or more.)

Now that shopping period is coming to a close, I hope all  of you have a schedule with which you are very happy.  I also hope all of you have had some time to relax and enjoy the great weather we have had.

The wonderful weather will last for a while longer.  As it does join us for sailing or kayaking on Long Island sound, for TrumBall in our courtyard, for a bonfire in our courtyard this Thursday evening and for our fall festival known as Rumble in Trumbull. Oh, yes…. and participate in Trumbull IMs.

Welcome, new (but very experienced in advising!) Dean Chandhoke!!!!!

All our new students have met our new dean; if you are a returning student, please introduce yourself.  The Dean’s job starts out intensively as  our new students arrive, but soon I’ll host a reception to formally welcome her (and her husband too.)  We’ll invite Dean B back to join us as well.

Sophomores, juniors and seniors, welcome back to Trumbull. To our new freshmen, just plain welcome. Trumbull truly isn’t Trumbull without you.

The last week of classes is always a very busy and often stressful one for all of us – myself included.  For most of you, this will continue through reading week and finals.  Take care of yourselves.  Watch out for yourselves and your friends and be considerate of all those around you. 

I want to briefly address two issues and say that I more than welcome further discussion with all on these issues.
