Community invited to meet
World Fellows at open house, series

The Yale community will have many opportunities this fall to meet the 2007 World Fellows and hear their points of view on important global issues.

The 18 World Fellows — who hail from a diverse range of countries — are spending an intensive semester exploring critical issues through a program of individualized academic enrichment, a World Fellows Seminar and leadership training. They have the full resources of Yale at their disposal. By bringing these highly accomplished men and women to campus, the Yale World Fellows Program seeks to build a global network of emerging leaders and to broaden international understanding at the University.


“World Fellows Night”

All of the participants in this year’s program will be on hand during “World Fellows Night,” beginning at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20, at Betts House, 393 Prospect St. The evening will feature displays by the fellows about their countries and their professions, as well as food and other fun activities.

The World Fellows will also meet with community members to discuss current events during the “Hot Coffee, Hot Issues” series, being held 9-10 a.m. every Friday morning now through Dec. 7 (except Nov. 16 and 23) on the third floor of Betts House.

In the “Yale World Fellows Thursday Lecture Series,” the participants will engage in conversation with the Yale community about the challenges and complexities of their professions. The series will take place 4:30 p.m. Sept. 27-Nov. 4 in the lecture hall of Sterling Memorial Library, 120 High St.

All of the above are free and open to the public.
