The Office of Student Engagement provides leadership development opportunities, new-student guidance, and programs that enhance the Yale College experience for students and their families.
About Us
The Office of Student Engagement was launched in response to the 2015 internal review recommendations for cohesion among the four Cultural Centers. The findings of this review deemed it vital for their effective functioning that the Centers draw together under one leadership/supervision.
Our Mission
The Office of Student Engagement encourages, supports, and complements student learning by providing leadership development opportunities, new-student guidance, and programs that enrich students’ academic, social, cultural, ethical, and intellectual growth.
Student Engagement seeks to cultivate citizens in possession of a rich awareness of heritage and a desire to move into the sort of leadership roles that will benefit every element of society.
Our Vision
Student Engagement works with students to find optimal ways to solve their problems, helps students build communities, and coordinates university efforts to maintain a safe campus environment.
