Recyling initiative

As part of the ongoing effort to become a more “sustainable campus,” the Facilities Operations department is seeking to increase the University’s overall recycling of solid waste to 40% from the current rate of 18%.

In support of this goal, Custodial Services will begin providing frequent removal of recyclable paper products from the “desk-side.” Community members should support this effort by utilizing new office mixed-paper receptacles, which will be provided, to recycle virtually all forms of paper. These include white paper, colored paper, glossy paper, newspaper, thin cardboard, paper bags, envelopes with windows, manila folders, sticky notes, books and shredded paper. Staples may be left in paper to be recycled.


Graduate Music Symposium

The Department of Music is accepting applications for paper presentations at its first Yale Graduate Music Symposium (YGMS) to be held Saturday and Sunday, March 22-23.

The YGMS will consist of paper presentations, a special concert on Saturday followed by a discussion workshop to be led by James Hepokoski, professor of music history, on Sunday.

Proposals in any area of music scholarship are invited, including, but not limited to, musicology, music theory and ethnomusicology. Papers should last no longer than 20 minutes; each presentation will be followed by a 10-minute period for questions and comments.

All proposals must be submitted electronically and will be reviewed anonymously. Each submission must comprise:

(1) An e-mail sent to ygms@yale.edu with “YGMS Abstract Submission” in the subject field; the author’s name, email address, telephone number and academic affiliation; and a list of any audio-visual requirements.

(2) A Microsoft Word or PDF attachment that contains only the title of the paper and an abstract of no more than 250 words, suitable for publication in the program.

All submissions must be received no later than Dec. 1. For more information, send e-mail to clare.eng@yale.edu.
