Semana Chicana is an annual week-long event organized by MEChA de Yale that addresses Chicano/a issues. This year, we plan to hold Semana Chicana from April 23^rd to the 26^th. Our theme this year will address contemporary and historical educational disparities in the United States, with a focus on DREAM Act advocacy. As a group, MEChA is founded on principles that recognize education as the avenue for change in our society. As students who recognize the importance of education for social mobility and development, we feel that greater attention needs to be drawn to the inequalities and challenges that currently face the American education system.

Thursday
Cemetery of Dreams. Public Demonstration
This event will take place on Cross-Campus and will consist of cardboard tomb stones with short descriptions of talented students who couldn't continue their education because of the challenges and struggles they faced as undocumented students. Tabling will be conducted so that students can sign postcards asking legislators to support the DREAM Act. This will be an all-day event.

Friday
Film Screening & Discussion of HB 1403
HB 1403 is a 2006 Award-winning documentary that forces on undocumented students in Texas and the landmark legislation HB 1403, which passed in 2001, that opened educational opportunities to all students in Texas. The film will be screened at 4 p.m. in Silliman College. A round-table discussion/dinner will follow.

Saturday
Workshop on the DREAM Act with Marisol Ramos
Marisol Ramos works as a Core Member for the New York State Youth Leadership Council, providing political education and organizing training. This interactive workshop describes what the DREAM Act is and how individuals, particularly students, can become more active in the DREAM Act campaign. Davenport College Common Room, 4 p.m.

Sunday
Closing Dinner with Keynote Speaker, Migrant Right’s Activist Kyle de Beausset. Hoping to publicize the plight of Guatemalans immigrants, De Beausset documented the journey immigrants face from Guatemala into the United States. After his return to the United States, De Beausset, a Harvard Undergraduate, has become a spokesperson for immigrant rights. Dinner time and location TBD.

What is causing the transition from the Modernist mantra of "Form Follows Function" to the fanciful forms of architecture today? Is it post-post modernism, a consumerist economy, new technology or lofty expressions of the human spirit? Since architecture represents the spirit of its times, the answer to this question also relates to the dynamic changes in the global context underway today, as well as the "Bilbao Effect." Two of today's best-known international architects, César Pelli (former Dean of the Yale School of Architecture) and Paul Tange, bring their insights from opposite points around the world.  Moderated by Geeta Mehta.

Hosted by the Yale Undergraduate Philanthropic Society

Join CAW4KIDS and spent a Saturday afternoon engaged in a creative workshop for children ages 5-10.  The workshops are designed to build social skills, enable self expression and provide a safe and peaceful play-time for kids.  We are seeking 10 volunteers for the day between the hours of 11:30am and 3:30pm.  Meals will not be provided during the event.  The volunteers will serve as mentors during an instructor-led class.  There will be 1 mentor for every 3 kids.  The day begins with preparation and a general gathering of volunteers and the kids.  Story-time begins and each mentor will assist the children with reading a story.  Later the mentor will work with the children as they create an art project in response to the reading.  At the end of the event the art work will be on display for participants and volunteers to view.  This is a family friendly event.
 

While only in its fifth year, the 5K walk has seen enormous success not only among Yale students, but the entire New Haven community.  Founded by Yale students and organized by Yale students, the walk is an important part of the university's service towards the local community.  With all proceeds going directly to the ten organizations on the Mayors Task Force on AIDS, the event addresses a greatly-overlooked health problem on the front lawn of our school. 

AIDS Walk New Haven is a great way for alumni to stay involved in giving back to the New Haven community.

There are numerous ways to get involved in the Walk:

1)      Register to walk as an Individual or as a team at our website: www.aidswalknewhaven.org

2)      Publicity (Spread the word!) - In order to get a large showing, we need to get the word out!  Please tell your friends, family, co-workers, employees, spouse's co-workers, all about our new website and the date of the Walk - April 26, 2009.

4)      Corporate Sponsors - The Walk would not be such a big success without the companies that support our cause right from the start and offer their corporate sponsorship to cover the costs of the event.  If your company, your spouse's company, or any other organization would like to be an official AIDS Walk New Haven sponsor, we have a range of levels with all kinds of advertising benefits.  Please contact This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript " title="mailto:'); document.write( addy88219 ); document.write('">'); //-->\n This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript with any questions.

Volunteers Needed for New Haven Youth Event! This event is an opportunity to highlight positive youth achievements (both through performance of artistic abilities and a recognition of youth making outstanding contributions to the city) and also to highlight positive opportunites available to youth (through a resource fair with 30+ youth-serving organizations present, as well as various workshops addressing issues relevant to youth). The event will be held on Saturday May 2nd from 12-6pm at Hillhouse High School and Goffe Street Park and we are looking for approximately 30 volunteers. There are two shifts: 11/12-4pm and 3:30-6:30, but we could use your help for as long as you can stay for!

PREPARING FOR MANDATORY GREENHOUSE GAS REPORTING IN THE U.S.

A Dialogue with the Environmental Protection Agency

Webcast Hosted by The Conference Board

Panelist: William N. Irving, Chief of the Program Integration Branch. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Climate Change Division.  This EPA branch is responsible for preparing the annual Inventory of GHG Emissions & Sinks (submitted to the UN), analyzing climate legislation, supporting domestic and international climate policy development, and coordinating the EPAs mandatory rulemaking for greenhouse gases.  Mr. Irving is an elected member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Task Force Bureau for GHG Inventories.

Moderator:  Dinah A. Koehler, Sc.D., Senior Research Associate, The Conference Board

Government regulation of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) in the U.S. is on its way. Last month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its proposed GHG Reporting Rule, which would require manufacturers, utilities, fuel suppliers and vehicle manufacturers to report their total annual GHG emissions starting in 2010.The rule covers up to 90% of GHG emissions sources in the U.S. In addition, the data generated by the rule will instruct a variety of new climate change policies under federal consideration, including cap and trade, regulation of GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act and carbon fees. Given the significance of this policy shift for all business, The Conference Board is presenting a webcast dialogue with the EPA to discuss specific aspects of the rule, and its implications for business including how the data can be used.

This webcast will discuss:

• Whether companies currently doing reporting under a voluntary reporting scheme (e.g. Carbon Disclosure Project) need to change how they collect data

• How the rule addresses facility vs. company level reporting

• Coordination between filing to the EPA and the SEC, especially to satisfy investor interest in GHG emissions data

• How the data can help a company subject to a shareholder resolution on climate change or litigation

• How to comment on the rule
