Director’s Note

Hi Friends,
 
It is hard to believe that we are at the end of July already. It has been an amazing sight to see some hustle and bustle on campus again, with people crossing the streets, learning in classrooms, eating in dining halls, and enjoying themselves inside our beautiful residential colleges. 
 
I spent much of the last few weeks engaging in my own professional development by attending the MPI World Congress in San Francisco and the StarRez Connect Global conference in San Diego. It is at these conferences where I can attain a true pulse on the industry. I also got to enjoy my first fruise from New Jersey to Bermuda. It has been great to see, first-hand the commanding interest and demand for in-person events, conferences, and travel! 
 
Within a few weeks, summer programs will depart Yale’s campus and our team’s focus will turn to fall and academic year cycle planning. We look forward to welcoming students back soon. 
 
A special thank you goes out to all our campus partners and to our summer staff who made service to our summer client possible again. We appreciate you! 
 
Stay cool,
 
Suzanne
Executive Director 

Department Updates

Fine-tuning our roles (and adding a couple of new ones) 

It is incredible to look back on our pre-pandemic team and see how much we have grown and evolved. We are proud and excited to announce a lare “reorganization” effort within our team, where we have redefined staff roles to encompass everything we have learned and accomplished! 

This new model will set YC&E up for long term sustainable growth, business continuity, and planned linear focus on both the academic year and summer business, allowing us to better serve the university and our valued clients. Effectively immediately, the following staff will assume new business titles. Congratulations to all!

Special Feature: Client Spotlights

Although we were not able to host all of our usual summer clients this year due to university COVID protocols, we felt fortunate to be able to welcome a handful of them back to campus this summer after a 2-year hiatus. Below, we’ve highlighted two of the incredible programs that joined us on campus in June and July because we believe their stories are worth telling!
