Coming Up
 
Sun., March 8 - Wed., March 11: SERV Auction
The Olin community voted to donate proceeds raised during the SERV Auction to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. Bidding will run until Wed., March 11, and the papers for each donated item will be in the hallway outside of the Dining Hall. Please reach out to Wilder Brown (wbrown@olin.edu) with any questions. 
 
Thurs., March 12: Spring Town Hall Meeting
4 p.m. - 5 p.m. / Norden Auditorium
President May will start the Town Hall with a few remarks, followed by questions and conversation. This will be an in-person event only, and all students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend.
 
Tues., March 24: Deadline for Shop Survey
The Olin Shop is requesting your participation in a campus-wide survey to better understand how well we are meeting our goals and addressing the needs of the broader community. We are hoping to check our assumptions against the honest feedback of students, faculty, and staff in hopes to better serve you all and discover if there are other ways we can serve the Olin Community. All responses will be anonymous unless you wish to share your name, and raffle entries will be collected in a second survey disconnected from your response at the end of the main survey. 
 
Mon., March 30: Multicultural Fair
6 p.m. - 9 p.m. 
The multicultural fair is a day where students, staff and faculty are invited to represent and share their cultures with the Olin community through clothing, cooking and activities. Though the fair is in the evening, we hope you will represent your cultures throughout the day by wearing anything you feel comfortable in, from sports jerseys to traditional clothing. Please reach out to Belén Hutchins ’26 (bhutchins@olin.edu) with any questions. Fill out the interest form by March 11!
