Communication with Students in the Major

The online Yale directory can provide the campus address and phone number of individual undergraduates. Another online resource is the Yale Facebook, which is accessible to faculty members currently teaching in Yale College. The Facebook displays pictures of students, their declared major, and other pertinent information.

Departments can send group e-mails to their majors using the Message II system. Your departmental registrar should contact Gloria Hoda for access and training on this system.

All undergraduates have electronic mail accounts, so it is usually quick and reliable to transmit messages by e-mail. If you send a letter to a student through campus mail, it should be addressed to the student's room number rather than simply in care of the residential college. A heavy volume of mail must be sorted and delivered by the college masters' staffs, so incomplete addresses are unwelcome. For students who live off campus, the U.S. Postal Service should be used.
