  • 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.

  • Campus Shuttles Shawn Luciani, JE ‘20 Ryley Constable, MY ‘21
    Yale College Council Campus Shuttles Shawn Luciani, JE ‘20 Ryley Constable, MY ‘21 January 2018 Report on Shuttles 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction…………………………………………………………….…………….….…………………………………………….3 Background………………………………………………….……….....……………………………………………………………3 Peer Institutions……...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….4 Data Analysis……..……………...……………………………….………………………….............................................5 Recommendations…………………….…………………………………………….……………………………………………8 Report on Shuttles 3 INTRODUCTION Yale’s two new residential colleges and the expected 800-student increase in the undergraduate population served as the impetus for YCC’s review of the Yale Shuttle System. We have determined areas for shuttle improvement related to both these new factors and persistent prior problems. Specifically, students in the new colleges have expressed dissatisfaction with overcrowding on the Red Line. There is overwhelming interest among these students in adding a line specifically to replace the half-mile walk between Old Campus and the new colleges. To combat overcrowding, the Red Line shuttles should increase in size. In order to accommodate larger buses, the Red Line could shift its route to wider, more compatible streets throughout New Haven. Additionally, STEM students have consistently voiced frustration in finding reliable nighttime transportation back to the central undergraduate campus. They cite issues with nighttime shuttles, including reliability and timeliness. A proper solution to this would include identifying peak times of need for STEM students and supplying more shuttles at these times. On the whole, this report aims to examine the most pressing needs for the student body in regards to the shuttle system. The Fall 2017 Survey and YCC Focus Groups have indicated that students, on the whole, could benefit from adjustments to the shuttle routes that give more options to accommodate both students in STEM and students who live in the new residential colleges, Benjamin Franklin and Pauli Murray.

  • 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.
