Dear Students,
Before I begin I would like to introduce myself for those of you who do no not know me. My name is Adina Minkowitz and I am this year’s Stern College for Women Student Council (SCWSC) president. I am so excited for this year, you have no idea! Now, allow me to introduce the SCW student council: Shimra Barnett, Vice President, Adena Kleiner, Corresponding Secretary, Amanda Esraeilian, Recording Secretary, & Rebecca Peyser, Treasurer. We are so excited to get this year started!
We are all looking forward to using our Student Council Corner column in The Observer to keep the student body up to date on what’s going on behind the scenes (and obviously to keep you posted on all the cool events we are planning). For every edition of The Observer, a different member of the council will pen this column discussing events happening on campus and issues bothering or relevant to the student body. This column is also meant to be interactive. We want to hear what you have to say so if you ever want to address a member of the council or write to us, this would be the place to do it—just email in your question/comment/editorial to scwobserver@gmail.com with the subject line “SCWSC Corner.”
Now, let’s cut to the chase. WELCOME to a new year at Stern College for Women! We can’t believe that summer is over and this new academic (not to mention) event filled, and incredible, year is beginning.
We want to be the first to let you know about a few events happening on campus in the next couple of weeks:
August 29 – “Out and About Camp Out” – SCWSC, TAC, SSSBSC are co-hosting a welcome back event in Koch Auditorium (in 245 Lexington) at 8pm. This is the first event of the year and is a great way for new students to get to know the Stern community and make friends and for returning students to reunite with old friends. We are serving snacks and having activities all having to do with a camping theme. As always, we will have giveaways and will be selling apparel. Make sure to attend while we spend the night stargazing, making s’mores and more!
September 4 – “SCWSC Annual Club Fair” – SCWSC is having their annual club fair on September 4th in Koch Auditorium. Get ready to be blown away by all that happens on campus. Bring an open mind because you are sure to be amazed by all that SCWSC clubs have to offer. There is an endless number of ways to get involved and we know you will because the Stern student body is an incredibly enthusiastic one!
September 5 – “Screen on the Green” – SCWSC, YSU, YCSA, SSSBSC (Beren and Wilf) are hosting the annual “Screen on the Green” in Tenzer Gardens on the Wilf campus. There will be busses leaving from 245 Lexington at 7pm so make sure to come on time and ensure your spot. Screen on the Green is the first co-ed event of the year. It is a night where both SCW and YC students hang out on the green grass in Tenzer Gardens while watching a movie – this year “THE LORAX” – eating popcorn, cotton candy, and Mike & Ikes. It is yet another way to meet new people, see old friends, and relax before you get bogged down with work. We hope to see you all there rain or shine!
While these are all the events we can tell you about right now, there are many more happening on campus in the next couple of weeks. Make sure to check your SSTUDs, flyers, the student events calendar (yu.edu/events) and flat screens for all things amazing. We can’t wait to see you there!
