First Year Counselors, colloquially known as FroCos are a hallmark of Yale’s advising system. This program provides first-year students access to experienced, mature, and knowledgeable members of the senior class who strive to ease their transition to the academic, social, and cultural life of Yale College. FroCos work with their Residential College Dean and Head of College, along with an array of campus partners to help first-year students define a sense of self, a sense of place, and a sense of responsibility.

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.
