yale-visit-20234

The High School Academic Support Program hosted a trip to Yale University on Friday, September 29, 2023. We enjoyed a welcome reception and panel discussion upon our arrival which was hosted by current students at the African American Cultural House and dinner hosted by the Connecticut NAACP and facilitated by the Morgan State University Alumni Chapter. Afterwards we checked into the Holiday Inn for some much needed rest. On Saturday, our students met with Yale Admissions Counselors and Financial Aid Advisors for an information session and a delicious breakfast with Morgan State Alumni and newly appointed Athletic Director.. A campus tour followed with a tailgating event and a Football game between Yale and Morgan State University. Despite a rainy commute, the sun came out on Saturday afternoon during our tailgating event which includes vendors from various corporations and non- profit organizations, voter registration and lunch sponsored by the Morgan State University Alumni Association.

Our students shared reflections after the trip that I felt compelled to share:
