EVENT
Wesleyan Rosh Hashanah

rosh-hashana-usa

From Rebecca Koppel ’14 and Danny Blinderman ‘14:

To the Wesleyan Jewish Community,

This week marks the fourth and final time that I will begin a year at Wesleyan. I remember each new beginning fondly, as starting points to years full of new ideas and experiences. At the same time, they also stand out as moments of continuation and renewal for some of the most meaningful friendships and most amazing communities I have ever known.

Read after the jump to see the rest of this message and a schedule of events for Rosh Hashanah!

EVENT
Campus Fossil Fuel Divestment Meeting

Straight from Angus McLean ’16 and Rachel Lindy ’15:

Right now there are 256 campuses across the country that have started movements to get their administration to divest away from fossil fuels. Despite being renown for its student activism, Wes has so far failed to step up to the plate. So come on down to the UOC to help kick off Wesleyan’s very own divestment movement and make that number 257.

We can’t fight climate one pipeline or coal plant at a time, and some of us just don’t have the time or criminal record chain ourselves to a bulldozer. But it is possible to loosen the grip the fossil fuel companies have on our political and financial system by speaking to them in terms they understand- like their share price. This is a really exciting opportunity to join a movement that was worthy of the NY Times front page, so don’t pass it up!

Date: February 21st
Time: 8:30PM-9:30PM
Place: UOC

EVENT

Courtesy of Lina Breslav ’13:

Do you want to join an awesome group on campus this semester, meet

makes a difference?

Spring is here and regardless of whether this is your second or last semester at Wesleyan, WesAmnesty would love to have you join us in fighting for human rights internationally!

It’s a time commitment of one hour a week, plus voluntary event sign-ups.

Email us if you can’t make the first meeting, and we’ll fill you in on the deets

EVENT
Travelers Unite Discussion

Elisa Waugh ’13 invites you to travel over to Usdan 108 this Sunday:

Have you studied abroad? Was your experience amazing/life changing/thought provoking and overall just too much to talk about in the one minute sound bite people expect when they ask, “How was…that other country?!” Are you finding life back in the States and at Wes surprisingly difficult to readjust to? Are you hoping that there is a way you can get in touch with other people who have studied abroad and want to talk about their experiences so you can finally begin to process your own?

You are not alone! And here is a solution!

Come chat with other returnees about your experiences and thoughts! Get advice from other returnees about the transition process! Travelers/study abroad returnees from any year are welcome!

Date: Sunday, February 3
Time: 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Place: Usdan 108
Cost: Free

EVENT
Need Blind: Parents Weekend Meeting

Resident rabble-rouser Ben “Doernbeard” Doernberg ’13 is at it again, and he needs your help:

This weekend is Homecoming/Parents Weekend, and there is no better time to make sure everybody is informed about the issue of need-blind/need-aware admissions! Tomorrow night (Thursday) at 9 pm we will begin preparations (folding flyers, decorating signs and banners, etc).

We need a big turnout! Attending this meeting doesn’t commit you to doing anything over the weekend if you’re really busy. It is simply to help prepare materials for distribution and display. This meeting is not just for activists; it’s for everyone!

Date: Thursday, October 18
Time: 9 pm
Location: Usdan 108
