Returning to Yale

1. What do I need to do now that my program has finished?

Everything you need to know is in the Returning Fellows section.

2. Do I need to take a placement exam?

Please see our post on placement examinations.

3.Where can I find information about classes, activities, opportunities, and contacts at Yale?

Try E-Assisted Planning, the new online resource for East Asia opportunities. It is chock full of good stuff, from classes to extracurricular groups to fellowships.

4. Are there any activities for Light Fellows upon return to Yale?

The Light Fellowship office schedules a pizza dinner for returned Fellows in the fall and in the spring. The Student Advisory Committee also plans one large social event per semester. We will email returning Fellows with details of these events.

5. How do I become involved in the Light Fellowship Student Advisory Committee (SAC)?

The Light Fellowship holds interviews in the fall and will contact Fellows about how to apply!

6. Should I write a thank you note to my recommender?

Yes! You may also want to write a note upon your return to give an update on your plans and experiences. Consider that this person may be a useful resource for future recommendation letters. Snail mail cards and letters are nicer than emails.

7. What is the best way to contact the Light Fellowship?

If you have a question, always start by checking our FAQ and online Bulletin Board. If you’re still stuck, email light.fellowship@yale.edu. You may also call the Light Fellowship office at (203) 432-8675. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please use the online appointment form.
