If you are concerned about a student and not sure where to start, feel free to reach out to Lily Sutton, assistant dean for student affairs (lily.sutton@yale.edu). For academic concerns please include David Simon, assistant dean for graduate education (david.simon@yale.edu).
If you have concerns about a student and are unable to connect with Lily or David, please email Margaret Katz (margaret.katz@yale.edu), assistant director for student affairs.
Deputy Title IX Coordinators are identified as individuals who are available to consult with members of the community about their concerns and questions related to sex- or gender-based discrimination or sexual misconduct. By disclosing a concern to a Deputy Title IX Coordinator, they can help you review options, identify and implement supportive measures, and connect individuals with other campus resources. Disclosing a concern to a Deputy Title IX Coordinator is not the same as bringing a complaint with the University, and supportive measures may be requested without filing a complaint. More information and resources can be found here. Lily Sutton is the Jackson School's deputy Title IX coordinator. You may also go to any deputy Title IX coordinator on the list.
Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinators have been identified by each school's dean as community members with the responsibility to receive concerns and offer advice and guidance related to diversity and inclusion, discrimination and harassment, retaliation, and equal opportunity. Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinators may also help facilitate informal resolution. This may be an individual’s best “first stop” in discussing a concern related to discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, particularly as Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinators will be knowledgeable about resources specific to the school. More resources to address discrimination and harassment concerns can be found here. Lily Sutton is the Jackson School's DHRC. You may also go to any DHRC on the list.
Students who have experienced personal hardship or emergency situations that may impact their academic progress should reach out to David Simon, assistant dean for graduate education, and Lily Sutton, assistant dean for student affairs. If you are unable to connect with Lily, please email Margaret Katz, assistant director for student affairs (margaret.katz@yale.edu)
Chaplains from a variety of religious and spiritual traditions are available for confidential support and care.

You can also sign up directly to Chat with a Chaplain. Chaplains are available Monday – Friday from 9am – 5pm.
