Through research, teaching, fellowships, and colloquia, the Liman Center supports efforts to bring about a more just legal system. Yale Law School established the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program in 1997 with the support of friends and family of Arthur Liman ’57. In 2017, the program became the Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law. About Arthur Liman Arthur Liman exemplified commitment to the public interest. A highly respected attorney in private practice at Paul Weiss Rifkind & Garrison, Liman devoted much of his time to public service.

  • Yale Announces New Commission of Hopper College Dining Hall Windows by Artist Barbara Earl Thomas
    YALE ANNOUNCES NEW COMMISSION OF HOPPER COLLEGE DINING HALL WINDOWS BY ARTIST BARBARA EARL THOMAS New Haven, Conn | July 29, 2020 — Artist Barbara Earl Thomas has accepted a commission to design a new set of windows for the dining hall of Yale’s Grace Hopper College that will confront and contextualize the history of the residential college’s name, which originally honored 19th-century statesman and notorious slavery advocate John C. Calhoun. “My goal with this project is to depict the history of the college’s name in a way that is real, honorable, and in the spirit of our time,” said Thomas, a Seattle-based artist who was selected for the project by a university committee in the spring. “I want the images to tell the story of the renaming, addressing John C. Calhoun’s disturbing legacy while honoring the life of Grace Murray Hopper.” Thomas, a widely exhibited artist whose work in various media, including glass, often emphasizes storytelling, will design five pictorial windows in the dining hall’s central bay. Two of the windows will directly address Calhoun’s legacy and the college’s renaming, according to preliminary designs. The new panes will be incorporated into the hall’s existing windows, which depict flora and fauna of the antebellum South and were part of a tableau glorifying a pastoral lifestyle that depended on the labor of enslaved people. When the college opened in 1933, it was named after Calhoun 1804 B.A., 1822 LL.D., who had served the country as vice president, secretary of state, secretary of war, and as a prominent U.S.

  • Meals+With+Faculty+Program+Semester+Report+
    Introduction Every day, Yale College students interact with their instructors, which include professors, lecturers, and teaching fellows. However, these interactions are typically limited to the classroom and office hours, and relationships tend not to continue past the end of the semester. By creating another way in which students can interact with faculty, students will have the ability to develop stronger relationships, which are valuable for both students and faculty. A Meals with Faculty program would allow students to interact more easily with professors, lecturers, and teaching fellows outside of typical learning spaces. This project aims to institute a robust Meals with Faculty program within Yale College. Background Currently, Yale College does not offer a college-wide Meals with Faculty program for students. Although professors in some classes invite students to meals, whether in the dining hall or off-campus, these are only a handful. There are also several residential colleges that have similar Meals with Faculty programs, such as Davenport College, Branford College, and Grace Hopper College. These college-specific programs are typically run by the residential college councils. In addition to this, students already have the opportunity to schedule meals with tenured professors, who are able to have lunches in the dining halls free of charge. However, many students are unaware of this opportunity or feel uncomfortable asking professors to a meal. A Meals with Faculty program would break down this “barrier” to interacting more with faculty. Peer Institutions Most of Yale’s peer institutions have Meals with Faculty programs in place. Each peer institution has designed a unique program to encourage relationships between students and faculty.

  • Admissions Requirements
    Admissions Requirements Academic Requirements It is recommended that students enter medical school after four years of study in a college of arts and sciences. It is recognized, however, that a few exceptional students may be ready to enter graduate study in medicine after somewhat less preparation than is required to attain a bachelor's degree. Students holding advanced degrees in science or other fields are also considered. These students must meet all of the premedical requirements specified below, and it is also recommended that they have taken some recent high-level science courses. International (other than Canadian) students must have completed at least one year of study in an American college prior to application, and premedical requirements must have been satisfied in the United States. The minimum requirements for admission to the first year class are: 1. Attendance for three academic years, or the equivalent, at an approved college of arts and sciences or institute of technology. 2. Satisfactory completion of the following courses, including laboratory work: General Biology or Zoology (2 semesters) General Chemistry (2 semesters) Organic Chemistry (1 semester) General Physics (2 semesters) Biochemistry (1 semester) These courses should be rigorous and broad in coverage, as opposed to dealing primarily with selected aspects of a discipline. The student of medicine enters a profession closely allied to the natural sciences and must be prepared to cope with chemistry and biology at a graduate level. Students who receive college acceleration credits in basic science subjects for Advanced Placement courses taken in secondary school are may substitute more advanced science courses for the traditional requirements listed above.
