Fundraiser for cancer research
The Yale women’s basketball team is organizing a “Think Pink” campaign
to raise funds for the Smilow Cancer Hosptial’s research into breast cancer.
The team will dedicate the 2008 Ivy League season to the cause.
Admission fees from the Bulldogs’ next game against the University of Pennsvlvania
will be donated to the hospital. The game will begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb.
16, at the Payne Whitney Gymnasium. Half-time activities will include honoring
breast cancer survivors and free giveaways to the first 200 fans. Items such
as raffle tickets, pink lemonade and tee-shirts will be on sale to raise funds.
Art Museum bus trip
The Yale Art Museums‚ a membership organization for the Yale University
Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art, will host a bus trip in April
to Mount Holyoke College Art Museum and the Brown Fine Arts Center at Smith College.
The trip will take place Wednesday, April 16, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The fee is
$100 for members and $150 for non-members. To register, call (203) 432-9658.
Classics traveling fellowships
The Department of Classics is accepting applications for Berkeley, Biddle and
Woolsey 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 first-hand.
They are not specifically designed for archaeologists or research travel, although
a program of study or research often makes an application more compelling.
New students in classics, graduate and undergraduate, are encouraged to examine
some of the programs available for study in Greece and Italy. Especially recommended
are the Summer School of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and
the equivalent program through the American Academy at Rome, which where were
established for philologists, not archaeologists. These programs are an efficient
and professional way of learning about the monuments of antiquity for those who
find it difficult to schedule an archaeology course in their programs. Some priority
will be given to advanced students and to those who have not had an opportunity
for travel to the Mediterranean, but the committee follows no rigid priorities
in making its decisions.
Awards have not exceeded $1,800 per applicant in the past, but the amount varies
annually depending on the annual income from the prize funds, the number of applicants
and the merits of the proposals.
Applications should consist of a statement of the proposed plan of travel, an
expense budget, together with a brief signed statement of support from a faculty
member, to be submitted by noon on Wednesday, April 2. Applicants should bring
their travel applications to the Department of Classics business office, 402
Phelps Hall, 344 College St., where they should complete a form with their legal
name, year of graduation, nationality, gender and e-mail address. Applicants
should indicate whether they have received a travel grant from the Department
of Classics in the past, specifying the year and amount. They will also be asked
to indicate travel funds they have received or applied for from any other university
source.
Those who are awarded travel fellowships will be asked to submit a written report
on their experience together with receipts for their chief expenses. The report
should be received by the second week in September. The award is intended for
use in the summer of 2008 only.
