THE NEWS

  • Though Mandi Schwartz ’11 lost her 27-month battle with cancer in early April, the efforts she inspired for leukemia patients across the United States and Canada are continuing through a new foundation created in her honor. The Mandi Schwartz Foundation, an initiative led by members of the Yale Athletics community, launched its website last week with the mission of providing ongoing support to young hockey players diagnosed with cancer. With an emphasis on increasing awareness about cancer, the foundation will aim to continue the advocacy work and fundraising that thrust Schwartz’s cause into the national spotlight.
  • Burkina Faso-based company Art’Dév/Compagnie Auguste-Bienvenue makes its American debut at the Iseman Theater from today to Saturday as part of “No Boundaries,” a collaborative project by the Yale Repertory Theater and the World Performance Project (WPP). The contemporary West African dance company will premiere two works as part of their “Engagement Féminin” initiative. The project seeks to explore, celebrate, and promote a rising generation of female artists in the West African dance world amidst a history of underrepresentation in the field.
  • At around 4 p.m., children of all ages rush into Katalina’s Bakery. Chatter fills the room, as eyes peer over the counter, glancing at an array of intricately decorated cupcakes. Smiles spread across their faces, as owner Kathy Riegelmann patiently helps them pick out a cupcake, offering suggestions and samples. A fitness instructor at Payne Whitney Gym since 2003, Rielgelmann recently opened Katalina’s Bakery on Whitney Ave. to pursue her passion for baking.
