PLOTT: For Buckley College
Buckley’s legacy reminds us that, as Yalies, it is our duty to pave the roads we see fit, even if we find ourselves journeying them alone. And once we start, we must not stop.
ZIA: For Hopper College
As a woman studying mathematics, working in the Navy and doing research in computer science, Hopper was often the only female in the room.
JONES: For Bouchet College
A first-generation student of color and a first-class scientist, Bouchet is a role model for the Yale community. Though he came from Yale’s past, in many ways he represents the University’s future.
PERDUE: For Yung College
Because of Yung's dedication to learning, the links he forged between China and the U.S. and the model he offers for international education and cultural exchange, it is only fitting that Yale signal its dedication to truly global learning by naming a college after him.
GITLIN: For Webster College
Choosing Webster would re-emphasize Yale’s role in American history and culture. It would also reinforce our ties to Connecticut and resonate deeply with the history of Yale.
BLACKHAWK: For Cloud College
More than an educational leader and reformer, Cloud was a dedicated father, community member and Ho-Chunk speaker.
KHURI: A campus for us
The "It's On Us" campaign seeks to provoke conversation and make us sit down together and reflect how we can help change our campus culture.
ROSENSTEIN: Combatting hate
The Jewish community at Yale is strong and firm, evidenced by the hundreds of students who went to Old Campus to express their Jewish pride.
BROWN: Decolonizing Columbus Day
The memory of Columbus Day does a disservice to the Native Americans whose communities were destroyed. Rather, we should take this as a day to remember our tragic history.
