Day (and Latkes and Hamentashen)
Happy Day to all! (And take a look at today's home page for a visual description of ).
I haven't seen anyone wandering down the hall dressed as a this morning (or any other reasonable facsimile), but that is not to say that won't be served at lunch, or that I might not be hit later in the face with a . OK, OK, enough humor; I need to stop before I have to eat humble .
Another annual event that I look forward to with great delight occurs this evening: the third annual Great Debate, sponsored by Hillel. At the Great Debate, professors defend either the Latke or the Hamentashen and present their defense of each. After the debate concludes, free Hamentashen and Latkes are distributed. Debating this year in favor of the Latke is a stellar team including President Susan Hockfield, Professor Walter Lewin (Physics) and Professor Stuart Licht (Chemistry). Defending the Hamentashen is another impressive team: Professors Marc Kastner (Physics), Jeremy Wolfe (Brain and Cognitive Science) and Donald Sadoway (Material Science and Engineering). I'll let you know the outcome of the debate tomorrow!
As for the questions to the blog, many of you are interested to know whether you can get some information now about your award, or when we are going to release financial aid awards. We are still working on them now and will have them in the mail to you no later than April 1st. If you were missing information and want to make sure your file is now complete, remember you can always log in to Autumn to take a look. As soon as we receive an update as to mail date, I will post the information here.
Keep smiling, and enjoy a slice of today (or maybe a Latke, or a Hamentashen)!
