As the school year isn't kidding around anymore, info sessions on various ways you can get involved with service and social justice will be held this week and the next.  Mentoring also begins very soon.  There's MEChA, an organization dealing with immigration rights.  There's TAG, a group that teaches seniors and the elderly how to use technology.  And for elderly seniors of an entirely different kind, there's a Teach for America info session this week that is just-can't-miss.

Also, a shout out to all the people who participated in the Freshmen Day of Service, organized by the Yale College Council and other individuals.  It wouldn't have been the same without the volunteers.  Well I guess that's obvious but seriously, way to go on waking up at 9 on a Saturday morning and braving gloomy New Haven weather.

Finally, the dissappearance of Annie Le is a tragedy and both frightening and worrisome.  A vigil will be held this week.
