Hey Sophomores!

Aside from getting paid, you’ll also have the unique opportunity to help out with one of Wesleyan’s most important events, make lasting connections with alumni, and represent the student body to hundreds of visitors and guests. Potential jobs include working at the registration site, escorting guests around campus in shuttle vans, and much more!

To apply for a position, please fill out and submit the student worker application. Applications will be accepted until Wednesday, October 5th at 5:00 PM, and we will notify you of your employment status no later than Monday, October 10th.

Note: Homecoming is during fall break.

There will be a mandatory student employee meeting on Wednesday, October 26th at 5:00 PM (location TBD). If you are hired, you must attend this meeting to receive your work schedules, event staff T-shirt, and other important event information.

Thanks for your interest!

The Green Fund Committee is now accepting committee member applications for the upcoming semester!
The Green Fund is responsible for allocating the funds raised from the Green Fund Fee, a $15 opt-out fee charged to each undergraduate each semester. The Green Fund seeks to strengthen Wesleyan’s environmental movement by providing financial and consultative support for innovative sustainability initiatives. Any student, faculty, or staff member can submit a proposal to the Committee for environmental sustainability initiatives that the University would not pursue on its own means.
There are currently two openings on the committee for frosh, sophomores or juniors. If you’re interested in applying to become a part of the Green Fund, please fill out the application at: https://docs.google.com/a/wesleyan.edu/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdUR2W8R6mkPD7ayzkJ2ejWrgN3Nuntvyt6I8ScWR60TJ8x9A/viewform?c=0&w=1

The application is due on Monday, October 3rd, at 12 pm. For more information, visit wesleyangreenfund.org. Feel free to contact Ingrid Eck at ieck@wesleyan.edu with any questions or comments.

Best,

The Green Fund

Peer Advisors can be wonderful resources, as they are trained to assist you with time/work management strategies, as well as study skills more generally such as note-taking, test-taking, you name it.

If you’re interested in working with a Peer Advisor, please be in touch with Rubye Peyser, Genna Mastellone or Jenne Johnson. It will be time well spent!

GO FORTH, a powerful theatre piece on loss, grief, and ritual that incorporates projection, sound, text, and movement will be held this weekend at Wesleyan.

There are four opportunities to see this show — Friday, September 16 at 7pm and 10pm or Saturday, September 17 at 2pm and 8pm. Seating for each performance is limited to 65.
Two performances will feature post-show talkbacks moderated by Wesleyan faculty: Friday’s 7pm performance by Gina Athena Ulysse (Anthropology) and Saturday’s 8pm performance by Marcela Oteiza (Theater), both providing a great way to learn more about this intriguing work.
As always, student tickets are only $6 and Wesleyan faculty/staff/alumni tickets are $26. More details on the CFA performances are available at http://wesleyan.edu/cfa/index.html.

Music 463: Teaching Music to Children in Local Schools

This is a great opportunity for Wesleyan students to contribute to music education in the Middletown Schools. We meet once a week as a group (Monday, 4:15-5:45), and on another day our students teach private music lessons to local kids at Green Street Arts Center, as well as other venues. The course is part of the Certificate Program in the Study of Education. It is also very much undersubscribed this time around, so be sure to check it out!

What: DANC 111 (section 3) Introduction to Dance
When: Mon / Wed 2:50 – 4:20 PM
Where: Pine Street Studio, 247 Pine St
With: Pedro Alejandro

This is an introduction to dance as a mode of inquiry for students with no formal dance training. In a communal, highly engaged atmosphere students explore improvisation, composition, analysis and multiple approaches to the moving body. The course prepares students to continue on technically, creatively and intellectually in the discipline of dance.

Please feel free to contact Pedro at palejandro@wesleyan.edu, or me at nstanton@wesleyan.edu, if you have further questions
