Multifaith service day

The Chaplain's Office and the Multifaith Council are sponsoring a multifaith service day for students of all or no religious traditions who will work throughout New Haven on Friday, April 8, 12:30-5 p.m.

Participants will gather at 12:30 p.m. for conversation, then leave to be at worksites by 1 p.m. After working for the afternoon, individuals will return by 5 p.m. for a shabbat dinner at the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale, 80 Wall St.

The event is sponsored by Student Life at the McDougal Center, in cooperation with the University Library.


Classics traveling fellowships

The Department of Classics is accepting applications for traveling fellowships from graduate students in classics and undergraduate majors in classics or archaeology.

The purpose of the fellowships is to enable students of classical antiquity to view the monuments, topography and landscape of the ancient world. They are not specifically designed for archaeology projects or research travel, although a program of classics, graduate or undergraduate, often makes an application more compelling.

The fellowships are made possible through the Berkeley, Biddle and Woolsey Scholarship Funds. Awards have not exceeded $1,500 in the past, but the amount depends on the annual income from the prize funds underwriting the awards and the number of applicants. The award is intended for use this summer, and winners will be required to submit receipts for major expenses.

Applications should consist of a short statement of the proposed plan of travel and a budget, and must be submitted by Monday, April 4, to Victor Bers, director of raduate studies, Department of Classics, 404 Phelps Hall, 344 College St. Applicants should submit their full legal name, college, year of graduation, nationality, gender, social security number and e-mail address at the time of application.
