Student Liaisons

The Student Liaison Program offers Yale students a chance to expand their horizons far beyond traditional academic opportunities, glimpsing the global impact of a World Fellows cohort, while working directly with and being mentored by an individual Fellow. Imagine having access to a truly accomplished global citizen; one who is already driving systemic political changes, creating more sustainable ecosystems, or upending human rights inequalities (just a few examples).

During the fall term, while the World Fellows are on campus, Liaisons assist Fellows with everything from campus integration to event planning, while benefiting from the mentorship each Fellow provides in return. The lasting relationships between Liaisons and World Fellows drive meaningful experiences on campus and ongoing impact around the globe.

The application deadline for Fall 2024 has passed.

  • Assist your Fellow in organizing campus talks, including marketing and publicizing these events to bring together those interested in the topic of discussion
  • Develop opportunities for World Fellows to engage with students across campus
Eligibility: The World Fellows Student Liaison program is open to all Yale undergraduate and graduate students who are actively enrolled and on campus during the Fall 2024 semester.
2024 World Fellow Residential College Affiliations: Each World Fellow is assigned to one of the residential colleges. Students may apply to work with any World Fellow, though undergraduates may wish to apply to work with the World Fellow assigned to their College.
