Yale World Fellows Program
Written by Suleman Shahid
Tuesday, 26 December 2006
Each August, 16 to 18 World Fellows come to Yale's campus in New Haven,
Connecticut, for a concentrated 17-week program designed specifically for
those leading and refining the critical institutions in societies around the
globe. To augment their accelerating careers, the World Fellows Program
provides a lively intellectual setting within which to analyze issues,
debate goals, define strategies, reexamine values, and undertake a unique
set of professional development opportunities. Recognizing that contemporary
issues and problems defy easy categorization, the scope of the World Fellows
Program is deliberately interdisciplinary, flexible, and capable of
meeting the needs of Fellows across a wide range of fields. The Program
also provides participants with an expanding network of contacts and
connections both on campus and off to further enhance their future
effectiveness.
The Yale World Fellows Program consists of five critical
elements:
A program of academic study tailored to meet the individual
Fellow's needs and interests; A specially designed Yale World Fellows
Seminar addressing critical global issues; Extensive interaction -- both
formal and informal -- with Yale faculty, students, alumni, and University
guests; Extracurricular activities, including a weekly speaker series and
trips to Washington, DC and New York City; The Return to Yale Forum, a
biennial Fellows Alumni convocation to reunite the entire Fellowship for
several days of discussion and reflection.
