Outdoor Summer Social for New Scholars

OISS is thrilled to invite you to join us for an in-person social event for international scholars that have arrived over the last year! We know it's probably been challenging to meet people in-person so we wanted to offer a chance for you to meet other newly arrived scholars face-to-face. 

On Thursday, June 10th or June 24th from 4-6pm, join OISS staff and a member from the Yale Postdoc Association (YPA) for two hours of outdoor yard games at College Woods in East Rock Park, which is easily accessible by the Yale Shuttle or walkable if you live in the East Rock neighborhood. OISS will provide the games, but we encourage you to bring your own games for us to try and blankets or lawn chairs to sit comfortably in the park while you socialize!

You must register to attend. Please only register for one of these events to leave space for as many people as possible. If we get overwhelming demand, we will do our best to add an additional date. 

In case of inclement weather, OISS will be in touch on the morning of the program to cancel if necessary. 

We will be following all university COVID-19 protocols, so here are a few reminders for the event:

• Wear a mask even if you're vaccinated
• No food or drinks will be provided, so bring a water bottle if you'd like
• Unfortunately no guests/family members are permitted on university events at this time
• registration is limited to 20 people in compliance with university guidelines, so if you register and can no longer make it, be sure to let us know so we can open your spot to someone else

We look forward to seeing you there and finally meeting you in person!
