Mission
The primary mission of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) is to facilitate individual accommodations for all students with disabilities throughout the entire University, and by so doing, work to remove physical and attitudinal barriers, which may prevent their full participation in the University community. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act guide much of our work.

Often, the physical barrier is the easiest to remove - the attitudinal barriers are much more difficult. To create a university community, which is truly accessible and inclusive of all persons, including people with disabilities requires the participation of each member of the community. If you have any questions about accessibility or our office, please contact us.

Our church life is centered around Sunday worship in Yale's historic Battell Chapel, which features beautiful music, thoughtful preaching, and the prayer of a diverse, faithful community. Outside of Sunday mornings, we have lots of fun together with retreats, study groups, meals, concerts, lectures and other events.

UCY is an open and affirming congregation; we welcome persons of any denominational background (or none), race, ethnicity, age, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, or physical or mental ability.

Mission
Established in 2005 by President Richard C. Levin, the Woodbridge Fellowship introduces recent Yale College graduates to the work and administration of Yale. The fellowship provides valuable professional experience for potential careers in higher education and non-profit organizations, particularly for recent graduates belonging to minority communities currently underrepresented in university administration.

Fellowships are full-time paid positions in the offices of university leaders, who take active interest in fellows' professional development. Fellows directly report to senior members of their offices and work with a variety of university staff, at all levels. Fellows most often combine day-to-day duties with responsibilities for specific projects that utilize their research abilities and other higher-level skills. Organizational and writing skills are particularly valuable, as is the ability to work well with multiple constituencies: staff of all kinds (clerical, technical, service, maintenance, managerial, and professional), faculty, alumni, and students.

Fellows meet regularly together, including for lunchtime conversation with the president, provost, secretary, and other university leaders. These conversations about roles and responsibilities, and the career paths that led people into academic administration, give fellows a broad understanding of many facets of working in higher education.
