Article Contest

In the new November issue of the Sackler InSight, we will begin running a regular competition between members of the Sackler community. The competition will run in two parallel sections: 1) The best political, opinionated, scientific, Sackler-related, or otherwise non-fictional piece of writing and 2) the best artistic photograph, poem, short story (<5-600words), cartoon or otherwise fictional piece. These competitions will be judged by your peers via the button above and we encourage you to spread the word to encourage a strong voter turnout! After polls are taken, the two winners will be given a gift card to the restaurant of their choice! To submit a piece, email paul.everill@tufts.edu in email or word format (for text) or any picture file accessible by Adobe Photoshop (for images). Deadline for submission is the 22nd November. There will be a reminder email before the due date. Polls will be tallied online and winners announced a week after the newspaper is published. Winners will be announced by email to all of Sackler (if permission is granted by the winner). If we get too many pieces to publish, some will be chosen (first come, first printed) to be put into the next issue instead. Please make sure you include which prize you are aiming for and be prepared to have a star of some other marker placed on your piece to indicate to the reader that it is up for election. Thanks for your support! We eagerly await your emails!!

Classifieds Page

In an effort to provide a new service to the Sackler community we here at the newsletter have decided to start a classifieds page to help students and faculty buy and sell their belongings, announce events that they are involved in, post rental properties for winter skiing, send a shout out to celebrate a birthday/anniversary or otherwise congratulatory event, see some services that perhaps you didn't know existed, and otherwise get what you need to say said! To aid in production costs, we are asking that students/faculty donate $2 for a black and white text post (30-40words), $5 for a black and white post which may include a picture (total area no more than an eighth of a page) and $15 for a color post which may include a picture (total area no more than a quarter of a page). Those advertisements publicizing to aid their own profits (cores, etc) will be asked to pay $15 or $25 to receive a black or color, quarter page post, respectfully. These prices are a flat rate and are on a per issue basis. Larger ad sizes are available; email for a quote. All requests and questions should be sent to paul.everill@tufts.edu.
