THE NEWS

• Two months after setting up an exploratory committee to consider a potential mayoral run, Connecticut State Rep. Gary Holder-Winfield filed campaign papers with the city clerk Friday morning formalizing his bid for the mayor’s office. His candidacy now official, Holder-Winfield joins Ward 10 Alderman Justin Elicker FES ’10 SOM ’10 and Sundiata Keitazulu, a plumber and New Haven resident, in the race to replace Mayor John DeStefano Jr., who announced last week that he will not seek an 11th term in office. That field is expected to widen in the wake of DeStefano’s announcement, as a number of prominent Elm City residents and city officials are considering a run.
• Full of nervous anticipation, nearly 30,000 high school students sat down in front of their computers this year to submit applications to Yale’s class of 2017. Aware that some high school students may interact exclusively online with universities during their college searches, Yale’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions expanded onto various social media platforms last year and has maintained a strong online presence ever since.
• All but two sophomores registered for mandatory bystander intervention training, which took place from Jan. 31 to Feb. 3. Part of an ongoing effort by administrators to improve the campus sexual climate, the 75-minute workshops taught students strategies for intervening in situations when they notice that another person is at risk of sexual harassment or assault.
