The First-Year Counselor Program was established in 1938 and has been ever since an intrinsic and essential component of Yale's advising system for first-years. The program has evolved in many ways over the years, but the general purpose of the program has remained the same: to help ease the transition of incoming first-years to the academic, social, and cultural life of Yale College. Applicants are urged to seriously consider how serving as a counselor fits into their plans and obligations for senior year. They are also encouraged to discuss the prospect of applying for a position with their residential college dean. Heads of residential colleges, cultural center directors, and current first-year counselors may also be useful to consult. While the responsibilities of counselors are heavy, and the demands made on their time and energy are great, the opportunity to support students encountering Yale for the first time is profoundly important and uniquely rewarding. In the eyes of many first-years, no position at Yale is more significant; and for many counselors, no other job is more satisfying.

The Communication and Consent Educators (CCEs) are a large, diverse group of undergraduates working together to foster a more positive sexual and social climate on campus. We aim to end sexual violence by transforming our corner of contemporary culture into one where respect, mutuality, and mindfulness are the norms. A safe campus is critically important, but we want even more – we want Yale to be a place where everyone can thrive.

Through workshops, trainings, and conversations, we help students identify troubled dynamics and develop skills for effective interventions; even better, we work on strategies for avoiding problems altogether. CCE teams also work (usually in collaboration with other student groups) to change the campus environment itself, reimagining traditional events and practices to maximize the opportunities for ideals to flourish.

With all of the opportunities available and people to meet over the next four years, coming to Yale is exciting - but the unknown may create a little anxiety for new students. Everyone looks forward to successfully adjusting to the Yale environment and culture so that they can call this place their second home. To aid in this process, the Cultural Connections program (CC) was designed to introduce first-years to Yale's cultural resources as well as to explore the diversity of student experiences on the Yale campus, with emphasis on the experiences of traditionally underrepresented students and issues related to racial identity. For over 40 years, first-year students have participated in an exciting week of engaging activities intended to facilitate their transition to Yale alongside their peers, CC counselors, and many members of the Yale staff. Activities include discussions with faculty experts about ethnicity, nationality, and race; panels on academic expectations by faculty; presentations on campus life by students; and group visits to local points of interest such as the Yale College cultural centers, local and University museums and parks.

"Without CC, I wouldn't know the Yale that I know. The CC community was my first home, and it will be always be the one I come back to." - Esul Burton, YC 2020

Freshman Outdoor Orientation Trips (FOOT) is an orientation program of backpacking trips for entering Yale freshmen led by two upper class leaders. Students hike along trails to enjoy the views, cook simple meals, and set up tarps under the stars. Freshmen hear about college life first-hand from older students. However, much more is accomplished—students learn skills that have immediate practical use, they are challenged physically to reach goals and mentally to endure hardships, and learn they can accomplish more than they thought. Students come together and form a tight bond of lasting friendships, and they create a close group that supports them during the oncoming years.

Goals of the leaders are to create an atmosphere of trust and inclusiveness, and to ensure the safety and well being of each freshman. It is the mission of FOOT for students get in touch with themselves and the great outdoors in the wonderful wilderness of the Northeast. In addition to the focus on freshmen, FOOT is a proven leadership training program for its leaders. After undergoing our leader training sessions and leading trips, FOOT Leaders can apply the skills they have learned to almost any situation or career choice that involves problem solving, critical thinking and empathy for others.
