This school year has gotten off to an engaging start. With the
freshmen frenzy settled, BSAY has had the chance to learn
more about our new members and grow with our old members.
Some of the highlights from the past weeks include:
“Blackness Defined”: A Discussion
During this productive discussion, several undergrads, grad
students, and fellows gathered together to discuss perceptions,
“definitions”, and experiences in black culture both within and
outside of Yale.
“Bridging the Divide”: Getting Involved in New Haven
As joint event with the Yale Dems, BSAY discussed the role
New Haven students play within New Haven in an effort to
encourage and advise freshmen to who are interested in getting
involved. Many thanks to Nia Holston and Joseph Goodman
for sharing their experiences!
New Haven Mayoral Forum: In an effort to inform students
about the upcoming election, BSAY hosted a forum where
community members and students were able to ask and tweet
questions live.
