INTERNATIONAL STUDENT & SCHOLAR LIFE AT YALE

International Spouses & Partners at Yale

ISPY is a support network created by and for all spouses and partners of graduate students and postdocs at Yale. U.S. and international spouses and partners are welcome to join - ISPY is global.

Visit the ISPY homepage or contact Warrena Wilkinson at the OISS for more information about ISPY. You can also join the ISPY e-mail group by sending a blank email to I_SPY-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

ISPY members organize events, coordinate groups, provide support to each other and work to promote community and improve university services. Central to the mission of the organization is to make the Yale/New Haven experience as meaningful as possible, through community involvement, helping others and pursuing personal goals and interests. ISPY also plans and hosts an annual orientation program in the fall for newcomers and is always available to assist with adjustment issues and concerns. Here are some examples of what ISPY has organized:

· English conversation groups

· foreign language tables & one-to-one exchanges
· weekly Craft Circle

· weekly Knitting Group
· baby & toddler playgroups

· baby sitting exchange

· book club
· cooking events & community kitchens
· theatre nights
· volunteer experiences

ISPY organizes numerous events throughout the year so make sure you "connected" and part of this community. All spouses and partners are encouraged to get involved and make their stay a most positive and enriching experience!

For those with children under the age of five, the New Haven PLAYGROUPS are a great way to network with other parents.
