Light Fellowship Staff Request an appointment.
Kelly McLaughlin, Light Fellowship Director
As Director of the Light Fellowship, and in concert both with the on-campus Executive Committee and with the Light Foundation Trustees based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Kelly McLaughlin assists in the program's overall development.
Kelly worked in Seoul, South Korea, for nearly six years before coming to Yale, having obtained by then fluency in the Korean language and proficiency in dealing with Korean culture. His experience in Korea culminated in his working for the Fulbright Commission for the International Education Administrator (IEA) and the English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) Programs. Prior to working in Korea, Kelly earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees in English Literature from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Erica Smith, Light Fellowship Coordinator
As Coordinator, Erica works closely with Kelly to promote and further develop the fellowship. She also works closely with the Light Fellowship Student Advisory Committee (SAC), gathering student input on how the fellowship can better serve the Yale community and providing new Fellows with the guidance they need to make the most of their time in Asia.
Before joining the Light staff, Erica was herself a two-time winner of the fellowship, studying at the Associated Colleges in China program in Beijing, China. After her time abroad she returned to Yale, graduating in May 2008 with a BA in East Asian Studies concentrating in the modern and contemporary arts and literature of China. Erica is currently enrolled in the East Asian Studies Master's Program at Yale, focusing on comparative modern Chinese literature.
