Hello!
The Quad community is warmly welcomed to attend the Queer Quad Dinner on
November 4th at 6pm. This is an informal event in which all BGLTQ+
students (and allies!) of the Quad can come together for delicious food,
nourishing conversation, and a celebration of our shared community. Prof.
Mark Jordan will host us in his residence at 48A Linnaean St. This event
is well loved each semester, so we hope you'll come along to enjoy it. All
students are welcome!
Sincerely,
Quad BGLTQ Tutors

Hi PfoHo:
Have you ever wondered what academic freedom is all about? Tomorrow night’s PfoHo Pforum speaker really knows.
Barakatullo Ashurov is a Visiting Scholar in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, who has experienced at first hand what it means to suffer persecution for the sake of his academic studies. Barakat and his family are new members of our PfoHo community. They are living in Faculty Row under the Harvard “Scholars at Risk” program, having been forced to flee their home in Central Asia.
In tomorrow night’s PfoHo Pforum, Barakat will consider the question of academic freedom in the Central Asian Region, drawing on his own and his family’s personal experiences.
Please come and join us: for a reception in the Senior Common Room at 6:00pm, dinner on the Dining Hall balcony at 6:30pm, and Barakat’s talk in the Hastings Room over coffee and dessert at 7:15pm.
We hope to see many of you there!
John and Anne,
Faculty Deans

Just go to the StarRez Residential Portal<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__harvard.starrezhousing…>, and look for the undergraduate housing forms 2018-19, then find the cancellation form.

If you know you will not be here in the Spring 2019 term, you are encouraged to cancel your housing. If you do so before November 12, you will not face a fee. It is always the student's responsibility to cancel their housing-talking to the Resident Dean or House Administrator does not automatically cancel your housing.

Application deadline: Monday, November 12.
No applications for Spring 2019 accepted after Nov. 12.

Dear all,
All of you will have woken up to the tragic news of a mass shooting in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. The terrible details are still coming to light, but it already seems pretty clear that this was a hate crime. We wanted to reach out to any and all of you who might be feeling particularly affected by this news, for whatever reason, and say that you are not alone. John and I will be opening up our residence this evening, from 8pm onward, and invite anyone who wishes to come by, whether to talk or just to be together for a bit. And I know we always say this, but only because it is true: none of you should also ever hesitate to reach out to me, Monique, or any tutor you feel comfortable with.
With sorrow,
Anne

Hi Pfoho,
Just a Shuttle heads up about TOMORROW night (Saturday) while Currier’s annual Heaven & Hell party is going on…
The Quad driveway will be closed tomorrow, 10/27, at approximately 9:30pm for Heaven & Hell. Shuttles will be re-routed to drop off and pick up on Shepard street. The event ends at 2am, and the driveway will re-open when the crowds have dispersed and the event organizers/HUPD have deemed it safe and the transportation dispatch will notify the drivers. Extra shuttles have been ordered to loop from the Quad to the end of Garden Street for the event.
Happy pre-Halloween Weekend! Stay safe!
Sue

Hi PfoHo,
Our friends from Next Level Gaming are coming back to screen the Pats-Bills
game on Monday night at 8:15pm! They will have another giant screen out on
the Quad Lawn, and we'll have fire pits, s'mores, burgers, and maybe a few
more things for a small tailgate.

Come get some snacks, play some games, and see the game on an enormous
blow-up screen!
See you then,
Deji
