“It was absolutely instrumental for my integration into the Yale atmosphere; it allowed me to build connections that I would prove valuable when navigating different challenges associated with the change in my life.”
–Steven Shepherd, CC 2023
“CC was a great opportunity to meet peers within my community before the stresses and demand of Yale could influence my experience! I still hang with my CC siblings to this day.”
–Fidah Kabwita, CC 2022
“CC is important to me because, coming into Yale as a transfer student, the transition feels somewhat abrupt, but having CC as my first program on campus really made me feel welcomed. At CC, I made some of my best friends, and my CC counsins support us not only during the program but also throughout the year. CC is a welcoming and inclusive space where we create long-lasting friendships and learn about our role in a place like Yale.”
–Deynna Rey Tovar, CC 2022
“CC not only introduced me to a supportive network and community that is necessary for navigating Yale as a POC, but it also provided me with the foundation to share these same resources and more with the incoming classes of Yale.”
–Justice Brown, CC 2021
