As of July 1, the title of Associate Master will be given to the spouses of residential college masters who wish to have the designation.
This official designation, which has been approved by the University officers and the Yale Corporation, is designed "to bring deserved recognition to these dedicated individuals."
Associate Masters will assist the Master in planning and carrying out various social and other program activities within the residential college. This can include everything from making provisions for events, social activities involving the College Fellowship and study breaks, to participating in academic programs such as the Mellon Forum to supervising those involved in functions in the master's house.
The new Associate Masters are: Berkeley College -- Susan Stout (master: Harry Stout); Branford College -- Susan Smith, (master: Steven B. Smith); Calhoun College -- Elizabeth Sledge (master: Dr. William H. Sledge); Davenport College -- Rhoda Thomas (master: Gerald E. Thomas); Jonathan Edwards -- Sondra Haller (master: Gary L. Haller); Morse College -- Marcia Chambers (master: Stanton Wheeler); Pierson College -- Madi Gandolfo (master: Harvey Goldblatt); Saybrook College -- Evelyn Lasaga (master: Antonio C. Lasaga); Silliman College -- Mary Jo Brownell (master: Kelly Brownell); Ezra Stiles College -- Brigitte Peucker (master: Paul Fry); and Trumbull College -- Victor E. Henrich (master: Dr. Janet B. Henrich).
