Yale University Summer Session

As Director of Yale’s English Language Institute, I am pleased to share with you our brochure for Summer 2009. We invite you to become part of an exciting time in the history of this university—a period in which Yale continues to expand its role as an international university and as a center for cultural communication and interaction. The university has a long tradition of encouraging and supporting international students, and their importance to the university has never been greater than it is today. Studying in the summer English Language Institute enables you to benefit from and contribute to this period of growth.

Yale’s summer courses provide an opportunity to study and experience life on a lively campus in a vibrant part of the United States. Our students have expressed their pleasure at living on the Yale campus and participating in academic and social programs with Yale undergraduates and other international students. Many describe the summer at Yale as an unforgettable time in their lives.

We invite you to become part of this community of students, each of whom will bring distinctive perspectives, values, and beliefs while also sharing a desire for greater understanding. I hope many of you will choose to study at Yale, and my faculty and I look forward to meeting you in the months ahead.
