Dear friends,

 

As we turn the page from a remarkable Commencement weekend celebrating all of our graduates, we now transition into the vibrant season of summer at YC&E!

 

Yale Summer Session kicked off over Memorial Day Weekend with the arrival of enthusiastic students and staff. The campus is abuzz with activity, and it’s invigorating to witness. This summer, we are thrilled to welcome back our full roster of programs for the first time since 2019. 

 

The presence of summer programs not only enriches our campus but also contributes to the vitality of the greater New Haven area. Our city thrives on the vibrant atmosphere these programs create. If you reside in the New Haven area, I encourage you to explore our campus during the summer months. Discover the remarkable endeavors our summer programs are undertaking, from entrepreneurship to business to medicine. These programs offer high school students a taste of college life on our beautiful campus.

 

As summer begins, let’s embrace the potential for growth and exciting experiences that lie ahead. If you’re ever near campus, drop by and witness the vibrancy firsthand!

 

With warm regards,

 

Jen Zuccaro
