    Yale College Council Annual Report 2011-2012 Brandon Levin, President Omar Njie, Vice President [email protected] [email protected] Matt Williams, Secretary Archit Sheth-Shah, Treasurer [email protected] [email protected] Katie Donley, Events Director Allen Granzberg, UOFC Chair [email protected] [email protected] The Yale College Council Annual Report 2011-2012 To the Yale Community, As the end of term nears, and final papers and exams loom large, we hope you take a bit of time to read through this report. It serves as a review of YCC’s past year, highlighting the initiatives we’ve tackled and those that are still in progress. In addition to increasing YCC’s transparency, we hope the report is also a useful tool for YCC Boards to come. The lack of institutional memory traditionally present in the organization will hopefully be mitigated by this comprehensive report. Through the course of the year, we think the YCC has become a more transparent, accessible, and effective organization and a conduit for broad-based policy changes. Our council has tackled everything from dining reform – the addition of meal options during Thanksgiving break, the creation of $7 meal deals at Durfee’s, keeping dining halls open later to compensate for the closing of Commons during dinner – to technological improvements –Bluebook by YCC, HackYale, and email notifications for grades being posted on SIS. We have also worked with numerous organizations and Yale departments to create lasting institutional change, successfully lobbying the political science and history departments to create Sophomore Seminars and getting our proposal for the expansion of Gender-Neutral Housing approved by Dean Miller, President Levin and the Yale Corporation.

  • Nivonim Leadership Training Program
    2013 ohbucb NIVONIM LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM In so many respects, the Nivonim experience is the culmination of one’s journey as a camper through the edot (divisions) here at Machaneh Ramah. But it is also the beginning of a new journey: that of one day coming back to camp as a member of our summer tzevet (staff). To that end, a key element of the Nivonim experience is the summer-long Nivonim Leadership Training Program. All of our Nivonimers will participate in the Leadership Training Program and will be considered Madrichim B’Nivonim (counselors that are Nivonimers) -- or MiNis for short. MiNis will be placed in one of the many Netivei Manhigut (Leadership Tracks) which will be led by our amazing tzevet (staff). We will dedicate several hours, each week, for training with our nativ (track) leaders, as well as time that each nativ will spend training “in the field.” We are very pleased to offer our Nivonimers eight different Netivei Manhigut (Leadership Tracks). Nivonimers will be able to sign up for one of the following tracks: Rikud (dance), Sports, Tech, Teva (nature/outdoors), Shira (song-leading/music), Camp Programming, Bunk Counseling, and Amitzim Bunk Counseling. Each track will be spearheaded by one member of our Nivonim staff (or another senior staff member from around camp), and each track offers exciting opportunities for the development of high-level skills and leadership experience in that particular area of specialization. Each track will offer opportunities for participants to spend time working with campers in younger edot over the course of the summer.
