"The mission of Berkeley Divinity School at Yale is to form and transform lay and ordained leaders for the present and the future Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion. A Christian community of worship, learning, and service, it shares in the ecumenical and scholarly vocations of Yale Divinity School."

Berkeley calls its members to become a life-long Christian community of faith, learning, and service, offering all we have for the sake of God and the gospel in transforming the church and the world.

Berkeley actively seeks, welcomes, and supports students who represent the full diversity of Christ's Church, and who value academic excellence, desire to grow in spiritual insight, and seek the skills necessary for effective ministry. Berkeley is particularly committed to a pedagogy and a formation program devoted to social justice and racial reconciliation.

As a seminary accredited by the Association of Theological Schools, Berkeley offers an excellent education in the Episcopal tradition that complements the larger academic program of Yale Divinity School. Students enrolled in Berkeley Divinity School typically graduate with either a diploma or certificate in Anglican Studies and go on to serve in ordained capacities in The Episcopal Church or other parts of the Anglican Communion as parish clergy; as school, college, and hospital chaplains; or in other positions of pastoral responsibility. Some graduates pursue lay vocations both within and outside the church, and others go on to further graduate education and academic careers. The School's graduates consistently achieve excellent results on the General Ordination Exams and enjoy a strong placement record in full-time employment or further educational programs within a year of graduation.

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.

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.

The Council on East Asian Studies at Yale University (CEAS) was founded in 1961 and continues a long tradition of East Asian Studies at Yale. CEAS provides an important interdisciplinary forum for academic exploration and support related to the study of China, Japan, and Korea. Its mission is to facilitate the training of undergraduate and graduate students, and to foster outstanding education, research and intellectual exchange about East Asia. For more than sixty years, it has promoted education about East Asia both in the Yale curricula and through lectures, workshops, conferences, film series, cultural events, and other educational activities open to students, faculty, and the general public.

With twenty-seven core faculty and twenty-two language instructors spanning twelve departments on campus, East Asian Studies (EAST) remains one of Yale’s most extensive area studies programs. Its interdisciplinary emphasis encourages collaborative linkages across fields and departments and contributes to diversity across the curricula and in the classroom. Approximately one hundred and fifty courses on East Asia in the humanities and social sciences are offered each year.

CEAS administers Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) Programs. While the B.A. Program focuses on the study of either a country or an area within East Asia, the M.A. Program focuses on the study of China, Japan, Korea, or a transnational region in East Asia. Graduates of the EAST B.A. and M.A. Programs have gone on to distinguished careers in the fields of academia, business, non-profit organizations, and government service.

East Asian Studies endowments make it possible for CEAS to offer grants and fellowships for Yale students conducting East Asian-related research and language study, as well as to support student organization programming and conferences.

Every year CEAS welcomes domestic and international scholars to campus as guest lecturers, visiting fellows, research scholars, and professors. In 1999, the Council initiated a Postdoctoral Associates Program, bringing talented individuals into the community of scholars at Yale to conduct research and teach advanced undergraduate seminars.

Study and research in EAST at Yale are supported by one of the finest library collections in the country. The Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language print resources in the East Asia Library at Sterling Memorial Library constitute one of the oldest and largest collections found outside of East Asia. The Asian Art Collection at the Yale University Art Gallery also supports classroom instruction, faculty research, and community outreach activities.

CEAS is one of the many programs and initiatives at the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale.

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.

DivOut is a space for the LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff of Yale Divinity School to join together in community. We are committed to care for one another, to seek justice, and to work for the full inclusion of all people, especially queer people, within spiritual communities. We recognize that the fight for queer liberation must be centered around ideals of intersectionality and we are committed to collective liberation. DivOut holds social, educational, and spiritual events throughout the school year with these values in mind. We continue to remember that YDS, as a historically Christian space, has not always been welcoming to queer members of its community and continues to hold room for growth. We aim to put continued pressure on the leaders of this institution to ensure that YDS is a safe and welcoming space for all students, faculty, and staff.

The purpose of this organization is to amplify the diverse voices and interests of students of color at Yale, and to provide a safe space for those students to be their full selves. DOWN was born because of a dearth of excellent journalism covering the topics that matter to students of color at Yale. Our goal is primarily to provide that coverage. Our secondary goal is to provide a supportive space for students of color to challenge each other to become better writers, and to encourage and train new writers to help them find their voice. We achieve this goal through frequent writing workshops led by people like Mark Oppenheimer, Director of the Yale Journalism Initiative and various faculty members of the English Department at Yale.

The objective of Effervescence is to provide YDS students with an opportunity to learn more about writing, editing, and publishing, as well as explore the rich diversity of religion-related topics, regardless of prior journal experience or level of disciplinary knowledge. Submissions will fall under the following fields: Religious Studies, Theology, and Philosophy of Religion. At the start of each submission cycle, a call for submissions will be sent out to various graduate schools, divinity schools, and seminaries across the country. There will also be a limit for the number of received submissions, which will be determined based on each editor’s preferred workload (e.g., 2 editors can work on 3 papers each, so we will only accept 6 papers), thereby ensuring that our journal (1) can efficiently meet deadlines, (2) has clear expectations of its editors, and (3) won’t overburden students with work.

Broadly, the review process will involve three stages: filtering, fine-tuning, and copyediting. If a submission passes through all three stages, it will then be uploaded to our club website. Once a threshold has been reached, accepted papers will then be compiled and printed for distribution to the authors, the YDS community, and anyone who wants a copy.
