The Program offers World Fellows the chance to broaden their perspectives, gain knowledge from one another, and advance both personally and professionally. World Fellows participate in Yale’s intellectual community through giving presentations, speaking on panels, working with others, attending seminars, and mentoring students.
Key components of the Program are:
- WEEKLY SEMINARS:
Good society. World Fellows present to each other their vision for making the world a better place, what they do professionally, and how they contribute to building the ‘good society.’
Salon. World Fellows host distinguished guests for discussions on key topics, expanding their knowledge and challenging their views. - PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: World Fellows receive individual and group coaching and skills development training. World Fellows can audit many of the 2,000+ courses offered at Yale, work on individual or collaborative projects, and conduct independent research.
