Chalk talk Twins Madeleine and Jacob Ruwitch and their mother, Melissa Ruwitch, coordinator of health promotion and wellness in the Office of Student Affairs, share sidewalk chalk with freshmen Erin Hickey (center) and Sara Chernyi (far right) Sunday, Sept. 10, at "Scorch on the Porch." The barbecue, held by the Robert S. Brookings College on the South 40, brought faculty, staff and students together for food, face-painting, games and a tour of the college. The pioneering event, designed to help bridge the divide of Forsyth Boulevard, also featured a baby-sitting matching service for parents looking for sitters.
