You should be receiving this in your e-mail inbox soon, but in case the e-mail that you registered for BTFO with is no longer working, we're posting this on the blog as well.
Greetings!
In one week, we’ll all be gathering at the Divinity School for BTFO! We’re both very excited about this, and we can’t wait until you get here. As you may have read on the blog (btfo2010.blogspot.com), we created your small groups last week. From this point on, we’re putting the finishing touches on the week’s programming.
We’ve just got a few reminders for you.
1) Registration begins at 2:30p.m. on Monday. This should take a few minutes; you’ll pick up your information packets and name tags, register for a mailbox, and have your picture taken by the Dean of Students’ Office. This means that some of you will have to show up before 3:45…
2) Please bring a water bottle and reusable dishes. YDS has made a commitment toward environmental sustainability and responsible stewardship. We’re trying to cut down on the amount of disposable plates, cups, and utensils that we use during BTFO. Remember, if you’re bringing reusable dishes, you’ll get to be first in line at all of our meals. We will have a limited supply of dishes and silverware in the Give Away room, which will be handed out on a first-come-first-served basis.
3) Dress in layers. It’s almost fall in New England, which generally means hot days and cool nights. We will be out on the Quad after sunset, and it will cool down rapidly. Plus, Niebuhr Hall (where we will be having panels) is affectionately referred to as “the icebox.”
4) Family members are welcome at most BTFO activities, including meals. We’ll be providing childcare from 8:45a.m—5:30p.m. Tuesday—Friday. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate any more children, so if you have not RSVPed for childcare yet, your best bet is the Yale babysitting service (www.yale.edu/babysitting). If you have RSVPed for childcare, make sure you bring your insurance and primary care physician information with you when you check in at BTFO registration on Monday.
5) Finally, if you’re going to be in town Sunday, August 22, the McDougal Center and Hall of Graduate Studies is sponsoring a $9 all-you-can-eat meal for new graduate and professional students (that’s you!) at Thai Pan Asian (1150 Chapel Street). Just look for the McDougal Fellow handing out wristbands at the door, and tell him or her that you’re a new Divinity student.
Peace,
Josh Rodriguez
