Humanities Program Targets Local Students

This July, Yale’s Humanities Program will kick-off its two-week pilot program “Citizens, Thinkings, Writers: Reflecting on Civic Life,” where twelve NPHS high-school students will live on the Yale campus and participate in the seminar along with supplementary workshops and activities.  Here students will connect historical writings on civic life to contemporary life in New Haven.  This program is catered to future first-generation college students who are interested in discussing “big human questions.”
