New Haven Reads Grows

Reporters from the East Rock Community Magnet School newspaper, The East Rock Record, attended a press conference this week, to get the dirt from politicians about New Haven Reads’ new location on Willow St.  New Haven Reads is mainly focused around one-on-one tutoring, but also includes a summer program, clubs, and a book bank.  Already serving 500 kids with 400 tutors, the program has still been forced to turn away a large amount of kids.

School’s out but learning continues in Yale summer programs for New Haven students

Two summer programs have returned to the New Haven community this year: Pathways Summer Scholars Program and the Ulysses S. Grant Program.  The Pathways Summer Scholars Program is a free, two-week long program for 100 high school students, in which current Yale students serve as teaching assistants and mentors. This summer, workshops on green chemistry, web development and coding, neurobiology, consciousness, and more are being offered for the first time.

Humanities program brings New Haven students to Yale to study, reflect on civic life

Citizens, Thinkers, Writers is a residential program offered by Yale’s Humanities Program as part of Yale’s Pathways to the Arts & Humanities initiative, in consultation with The Education Studies Program.  The residential program aims to foster a small community of intellectually ambitious students that will outlast the two weeks of the seminar. The faculty, residential teaching assistants, and coordinator will remain in touch with the students through the 2016-17 academic year to support students in the process of applying to college.
 

Hillary Wins Big; Trump Ties Stein

Jefrey Lopez, whose family hails from Mexico, decided he might vote for Donald Trump because it might result in a free trip back home.
Then he thought better of it.
He made the joke, and then the vote, as he and his 27 classmates in Laura Generoso’s eighth grade class participated in East Rock Community Magnet School‘s mock presidential election Tuesday, one week before Connecticut’s adults cast their own ballots in the official main event.
The election, at least at East Rock School, turned out not to be close.

New Haven Joins August Wilson Monologue Competition

August Wilson was a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright. His literary legacy is a series of ten plays, The American Century Cycle. Each is set in a different decade and chronicles the African-American experience.

15 New Haven students admitted, and other Yale connections with the city’s public schools

Yale has many partnerships with New Haven Public Schools, and New Haven students benefit from a wide range of opportunities to engage with Yale resources and programs well in advance of Bulldog Days. Yale’s largest investment is in the New Haven Promise, a location-based program that provides scholarships up to 100% of college tuition for residents and graduates of New Haven Public Schools and approved charter schools if they attend college in Connecticut.

Citizens, Thinkers, Writers Prepares for Second Year

As Twelve New Haven high school students who formed its inaugural class prepare to graduate, “Citizens, Thinkers, Writers: Reflecting on Civic Life,” (CTW) a residential summer program and school year mentorship program, is wrapping up its inaugural year and preparing for the sequel. Bryan Garsten, professor of humanities and political science, and Kathryn Slanski, senior lecturer in humanities and Near Eastern languages, started the program last summer to introduce high school students to the trials and joys of college life.
