From Michael Ortiz ’16:
Did finals wear you out? Don’t feel like packing? Don’t feel like lugging that humongous fridge home, let alone down the stairs? Well lucky you, you don’t have to! Consider donating your stuff to Waste Not!
For those that are unfamiliar with it, Waste Not is Wesleyan’s annual tag sale that aims to reduce waste on campus by selling used goods. Our sale is traditionally in the fall, during NSO. Our collection is during the spring (WHICH IS NOW). So if you don’t feel like carrying that microwave home or if you realized that you don’t REALLY need that printer anymore, consider giving it to us. We’ll be collecting donations on Saturday, May 16 and on Monday, May 25. There will be collection sites at most dorms and at locations between streets, so as to minimize how far you have to go!
If you have any questions/concerns/want to donate immediately, contact us at wesustainability[at]gmail[dot]com.
Leave your belongings unattended at your library desk (or wherever you are) and come to the Olin steps at MIDNIGHT tonight to yell “I’M MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!”
Or just scream.
The Primal Scream is a Wes tradition, when students gather on the steps of Olin at midnight before finals officially begin and scream really loudly. There will be a countdown.
Date: TONIGHT
Time: Midnight (when Monday turns to Tuesday..)
Place: Olin steps
From Natalie Ancona ’15:
Last semester’s speak out in Usdan was an incredible moment in which our community came together to speak openly, honestly, and compassionately about sexual assault and gender violence of all kinds. As a continuation of that conversation, we will be holding another speak out in Usdan on Thursday April 30th from 5-8pm (or as long as it needs to go).
Please feel welcome to share a short piece about your experiences, whether they are related to the administration or to your community in or outside of Wesleyan. Write about whatever you feel is important to point out as contributing to sexual/gender discrimination and violence.
If you feel comfortable speaking publicly, we would like to support you in doing so. Know that you will be physically surrounded by people both sharing their own stories and supporting their peers. If you’re not comfortable speaking publicly, you can choose to write a piece that someone else will read, anonymously or not.
Please email Natalie Ancona at nancona@wesleyan.edu or Chloe Murtaugh (cmurtaugh@wesleyan.edu) letting us know if you’d like to speak at the event, or with your piece to be read by someone else. Anyone is welcome to speak during the event without having contacted us beforehand.
Date: Today
Time: 5 pm
Place: Usdan

From Ella Israeli ’17:
If you are thinking any of the following things:
Zionism can NOT be progressive.
Of course Zionism is progressive!
I’m not sure if Zionism can be progressive.
WTF is Zionism?!
I don’t care about Zionism but everybody talks about it so I should
probably jump on this band wagon.
OR anything in between-
Join us in an exploration of the idea of progressive Zionism through a moderated discussion with Professor Zachary Lockman, a Middle Eastern Studies expert from NYU, and Maya Haber, the Director of Programming and Development at Partners for Progressive Israel. Our very own Professor Magda Teter, chair of the History Department and Jewish studies expert, will moderate.
