Coming
to Yale College is exciting and for new students, the unknown may
create a little anxiety. All students look forward to successfully
adjusting to the new environment that they quickly begin to call home.
In the Cultural Connections program (CC), freshmen participate in
a week of activities intended to facilitate their transition to Yale.
CC is designed to introduce freshmen to Yale's cultural resources
as well as to explore the diversity of student experiences on the
Yale campus, with emphasis on the experiences of traditionally underrepresented
student and issues related to racial identity. Activities include discussions
with faculty experts in the concepts of ethnicity, nationality, and
race; panels on academic expectations by faculty; presentations on
campus life by students; and group visits to local points of interest
such as the Yale College cultural centers, local and University museums
and parks. |
