Extracurriculars

Have you heard of the Yale Young Global Scholars program but aren't sure if it's worth attending? YYGS is a summer program for high school students run by Yale University. Some attendees love their experience, while others don't feel the program is worth its high price tag. So, should you apply?

This article will explain exactly what the benefits and drawbacks of YYGS are , as well as the questions you need to ask yourself before you make a decision to attend.

What Is the Yale Young Global Scholars Program?

Yale Young Global Scholars (previously known as "Ivy Scholars") is a summer enrichment program for high school students. It offers three sessions, in June and July, where students spend 13 days in one of five programs. YYGS will return to residential sessions for June and July 2023.

Attending a YYGS residential program costs $6,500. YYGS is run by Yale University and takes place on its campus in New Haven, Connecticut. (They used to run programs in Beijing, but now they are only focusing on programs on Yale's campus.) During the program, students will live in Yale dorms and attend classes, listen to talks from Yale professors, and spend their free time with other program participants.  

By participating in the program, students can learn about a subject of particular interest to them and spend time with like-minded peers. Each program includes lectures, seminars, and a capstone project. The Yale Global Scholars program emphasizes small lectures, collaborative learning, and a diverse community. Roughly 2,500 students from over 120 countries attend each summer. 

What Programs Does Yale Young Global Scholars Offer?

You can attend one of four YYGS programs. Each lasts 13 days. On the YYGS application, you’ll be able to rank your preference for up to all four sessions that are offered, but you’ll only be able to attend one session per summer.

Below is a brief description of each program. All YYGS programs emphasize peer discussion, varied learning formats, and a capstone project conducted under the mentorship of YYGS staff.

Innovations in Science and Technology

For students interested in learning about various topics within STEM fields. Students explore a wide variety of scientific fields such as physics, molecular biology, chemistry, biochemistry, astronomy, engineering, neuroscience, immunology, psychology, and earth science.

Literature, Philosophy, and Culture

Designed for students interested in expressing creativity and interpreting significant texts. Students study a variety of creative arts, including fiction, poetry, philosophy, theater, film, dance, and visual arts.

Politics, Law, and Economics

Aimed at students with an interest in economic theory, government values and practices, and/or legal frameworks, both historical and contemporary. Topics students will learn about include government structures, human rights, international policies, market regulation, and public policy.

Solving Global Challenges

Designed to teach students about the most pressing challenges facing the world today (focusing on the 17 challenges identified by the UN in their Sustainable Development Goals), as well as how solutions can be developed. Topics students learn about are wide-ranging and include artificial intelligence, global health, environmental sustainability, poverty alleviation, and cyber security.

How Prestigious Is Yale Young Global Scholars? Will It Impress Colleges?

How hard is it to get accepted in YYGS? What is the YYGS acceptance rate? Yale Young Global Scholars doesn't publish data on its acceptance rates, but by comparing numbers of applicants to attendees , we know that the YYGS acceptance rate is at least 34%. 

This is based on information from their website that states that they receive about 7,000 applications a year and about 2,400 students attend. Certainly not every student who is admitted attends, but we don't know how many decline their offers of admission. We can say that at least ⅓ of students are admitted though, and possibly a significantly higher number. So YYGS is definitely a competitive program, but it's nowhere near as hard as getting accepted into Yale University itself , which has an acceptance rate of about 6% , significantly lower than the Yale Young Global Scholars acceptance rate.

Will attending a Yale Young Global Scholars program impress colleges? It depends on what you make of the program. Just having it on your college application won't do much. Despite a somewhat low acceptance rate, the program isn't competitive enough or well-known enough to really make a difference to colleges. It will basically look the same as any other extracurricular program, such as a local summer camp, club membership, etc. Because the program is affiliated with Yale, it may give your application a small boost if you apply there, because it'll show interest in the school, but in most, if not all, cases, this won't be enough to make a difference whether you'll be admitted or not.

So how can you make YYGS more of a strength on your college application? You need to connect it to your spike. Your spike is what we call your main focus/interest. If your goal is to attend an Ivy League school, you need to have a strong spike to stand out from the crowd, and it's possible for Yale Young Global Scholars to contribute to this. For example, if you want to become an immunologist, then attending the Innovations in Science and Technology program and creating a strong capstone project that relates to that interest can strengthen your spike.

Yale Young Global Scholars on its own, however, is not enough to be a spike, or even be the strongest point on your spike. At its core, it's basically a summer school program, albeit a competitive and high-quality one where you have the potential to learn quite a bit. The best spikes show initiative, exceptional abilities, and deep passion for and commitment to a subject. It's difficult to achieve this in a YYGS program because you'll be spending most of your time in class. You might have amazing debates and learn a lot, but so are many other students in their regular classes every day.

So, we recommend viewing Yale Young Global Scholars as a way to give your college application a small boost. Especially for top-tier schools, it likely won't make any difference in whether a school admits you or not. There are lots of potential reasons to attend YYGS (which we discuss later in the article), but thinking it's a guarantee to an Ivy League school shouldn't be one of them.

How Do You Apply to Yale Young Global Scholars?

You can access the YYGS application on their website . The YYGS application opens in September. The early action deadline is in early November, and the regular decision deadline is in mid-January. Those who apply early action will get their admission decision by mid-December and must decide if they want to attend by early January. Those who apply regular decision will get their admission decision by mid-March and need to make a decision to attend by mid-March as well. When you accept, you must pay the (non-refundable) tuition deposit. Here are the current deadlines:

If you decide to apply, first make sure you meet their eligibility criteria, which is mainly that, by the start of the program, you'll be at least 16 years old, a current high school sophomore or junior (or the international equivalent), have fluent or nearly-fluent English skills, and haven't participated in previous YYGS sessions.

You'll then complete the YYGS application, which is very similar to college applications. You'll need to submit:

• High school transcript
• List of extracurriculars
• 4 written responses (one 400 words, one 200 words, and two "fast take" responses of 280 characters) to Yale Young Global Scholars essay questions
• 2 letters of recommendation
• Application fee ($60 for Early Action, $75 for Regular Decision)

You can also choose to submit English fluency test scores and/or need-based financial aid. Submit your application, and you'll hear back from YYGS by the notification deadline (and often sooner).

Should You Attend a Yale Global Scholars Program? 3 Questions to Ask Yourself

Now you know quite a bit more about Yale Global Scholars, but is it the best choice for you? Below are three questions to ask yourself before deciding.

#1: Why Do You Want to Attend?

This is the most important question to ask, and you need to make sure your expectations are realistic. As we mentioned earlier, if you want to attend a YYGS program because you think it's your ticket into Ivy League schools, then you'll be disappointed. Attending the program is not much more prestigious than any other extracurricular you have on your resume. Here are some strong reasons to attend the program, as well as weak reasons.

Strong Reasons to Attend YYGS:

• You want to get a taste of college life
• You want to learn more about a particular subject or career path
• You want to meet new people

Any of the above are strong, accomplishable goals for YYGS. Because the program is held on Yale's campus, it'll give you a great way to learn about college life, particularly American college life. The programs are high-quality and will teach you a lot, and because you can choose the focus of your program and your capstone project, you can tailor the experience to learn more about your intended career path and subjects of deep interest to you. And finally, students in YYGS come from over 100 different countries, and many mention the friends they made as one of the best parts of YYGS.

Weak Reasons to Attend YYGS:

• You think it'll help your college applications
• You think it's incredibly prestigious
• You want to network with Yale professors

If you attend YYGS with any of the above goals as your main reason for attending, you'll likely be disappointed. As we mentioned, YYGS isn't seen as a particularly prestigious thing to have on college applications. It's nice to have, but it certainly won't guarantee you admission anywhere.

Additionally, some people think that, because YYGS programs are held on Yale's campus, you'll be able to network with Yale professors and potentially get a connection to help you get admitted/get a research project when you're a student there. This is highly unlikely. Much of the program is run by YYGS, not Yale professors, so while you will hear some Yale professors give talks and have the opportunity to ask them questions, you won't have the time to develop a one-on-one relationship with them.

#2: Can You Afford It?

YYGS does offer a significant number of scholarships, but competition for them is high, and you shouldn't assume you'll receive one. That means it's important to consider the cost of the program.

YYGS isn't cheap; attendance for the residential program costs $6,500 for tuition, room, and board. For most families, that's quite a bit of money for a short summer program, and you shouldn't feel like you need to scramble to come up with the money.

As we mentioned above, YYGS can be a great experience, but there are many experiences just as rewarding that are free or cost much less. If you can afford the YYGS program, go for it, but don't think you need to pay thousands of dollars in order to have strong extracurriculars to put on your college application.

#3: What Are Your Other Options for the Summer?

Before you agree to attend a YYGS program, make sure it's the best way for you to spend your summer. The programs are quite short, but because they occur in the middle of summer, they can prevent you from other summer opportunities, such as jobs, classes, or other extracurricular activities.

We've discussed that YYGS can be a solid opportunity, but it's not the only opportunity or even necessarily the best opportunity for you. You might decide that taking classes at a community or local college is better because those classes are longer and offer the option for college credit.

You may also decide to work a summer job to earn money and show colleges you have a strong work ethic and desire to learn new skills. If you have existing extracurriculars, career goals, or academic interests that you’re passionate about, you might decide to spend your summer working on those instead.

At the end of the day, you might feel like these other summer opportunities will better show your leadership skills, initiative, and passion to colleges. The point is to not feel like you need to attend YYGS to impress colleges. You have lots of options; be sure to make the right decision for you.

Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) - Solving Global Challenges (SGC): Research a Topic: Finding Journals, Newspapers, and Websites

• Research a Topic: Finding Journals, Newspapers, and Websites
• Evaluating Sources
• Cite Your Work!
• How-To Tutorials

Where to Find Resources

• Dissertations

Use the tabs in this box to learn more about locating specific types of resources.

When you're starting your research, you want to know what about a topic is most important, and you want to get to the resources you need. This page is designed to help you do that. We also recommend checking out the How-To Tutorials and STEM Videos sections of this guide.

The  how-to tutorials  tab covers using Quicksearch, understanding call numbers, finding databases and articles, and using specific tools at the university. The  STEM Videos  page provides on-demand videos on how to do research in the sciences.

Getting Started with Research

Before you look at the tabs in this box, let's talk about the basics of brainstorming and thinking about a topic. 

Your best bet when beginning a new research paper is to start general and get specific as you research and identify new information .

For a short work (think under 10 pages), your research question will need to be more specific than you might think! A good rule is that if a whole book has been written on your topic, then you need to be more specific.

On the flip side, some research topics are gaps — and very few people have written on them. These have the  potential  of being books. As long as you have enough materials to consult, react to, and cite, you should be fine.

If you would like help on finding resources within a specific discipline, we have subject-specific guides that can help you identify the best information for any research area .

We also recommend watching Lori Bronars' video in the STEM Videos section — she walks through everything from brainstorming a topic to choosing a specific research question, and if you watch that video in tandem with exploring the resources in this tabbed box, you'll be well on your way to having what you need.

Try one of these resources, too:

• Practical tips for surgical research: Research questions, hypotheses and objectives A guide from several scientists on picking research questions, drawing from their expertise as medical (surgery) researchers.
• A practical guide to writing quantitative and qualitative research questions and hypotheses in scholarly articles Another guide on how to develop a research question and hypothesis from researchers.
• Crafting a Research Question (UCLA Library Tutorial) This open-acces tutorial walks through the entire process of crafting a research question, from beginning to end, with interactive videos and exercises.

Finding Background Information

We have some general reference works (encyclopedias, bibliographies, and dictionaries) for getting background information. Whether you're gathering information on your own or reality-checking AI output from tools like ChatGPT or Bing (note: those tools are experimental and risk hallucinating false information), these are good places to start.

Reference works (encyclopedias, bibliographies, dictionaries) are great for getting background information. Try these reference databases:

Credo Reference

Oxford Bibliographies

Oxford Reference

Wikipedia (yes, it is OK to use Wikipedia to gather ideas and names in order to start your research)​​​

As you find background material, keep a list of terms and keywords, which will be helpful to when searching for scholarly articles.

Try using a worksheet, or a mind map, to keep track of related terms for your research, like this one:

• Mind Map A mind map can be a great way to start organizing your ideas. It can also be used to understand relationships and get your topic more specific. The mind map linked here is interactive, but you can also create one using a pencil and paper.

Book Suggestions

About Articles

What is an article.

An article is a piece of writing found in a periodical or serial -- commonly known as magazines, newspapers, and journals. Articles are a way to up-to-date information (based on when material was published).

What is a "scholarly" article?

In order for an article to be considered "scholarly" it is vetted and approved by other scholars in the field (hence peer reviewed). The approval process can take anywhere from 6 months to a year and publishing an article in a peer reviewed journal is often a requirement of tenure for researchers and faculty.

Where do you find scholarly articles?

Scholarly articles are found in peer review journals. You can find scholarly articles at Yale Library using:

• Articles+ Provides a quick, easy and comprehensive search of thousands of journal articles. Use the search filters to select the type of material you need: newspaper or magazine article, scholarly journal article, and yes... even ebooks (that's what the + indicates).
• Find a Database Make your article search even more specific by using a database. Search for the exact database you need by title (i.e.: "Academic Search Premier"), or locate a relevant database using a keyword or subject search (i.e.: "philosophy" or "art history"). We have a tutorial on how to use the Find Databases tool on YouTube.
• Academic Search Premier A multidisciplinary​ database. This database is also included in Articles+.
• Scopus This scientific abstract database also provides information on citation analysis for specific articles and authors, along with journal metrics that can help you discover good publishing venues for your articles. There are even altmetrics (how viral an article went) available on individual journal article records.
• Web of Science The Web of Science is an abstract database, which means it indexes abstracts and other information from academic articles to let you know what has been published in a research area. The database is strongest in the sciences, and it has medium-strong coverage in the Social Science and Humanities (although a generalist abstract database will never be as thorough as a subject-specific one). This is also the system that records the Impact Factor of journals; you can use it to figure out where to publish.

Using Articles+

Articles+ contains about 80% of our online resources — except for some things in specialized databases that don't talk to the service we use. There are two ways to access it.

First, Articles+ is integrated into Quicksearch. When you do a search from the main library website — say, for planetary formation composition — you come to a results screen that includes several components from Articles+. The Journal & Magazine Articles section and the Dissertations & Theses results preview boxes are both pulling from facets within Articles+. There are additional left-sidebar items like Newspaper Articles that are also pulling from Articles+.

Clicking on any one of these headers will take you to Articles+  with the filter active that limits to the result type in question . There is also a direct way to get to Articles+, and that is by using its database record. You can look it up in the Databases under the Find, Request, and Use top menu item on library.yale.edu or bookmark the link.

If you enter the Articles+ interface from Quicksearch, you can always remove the filters if you want or add some additional item types. Books and book chapters, for example, will elevate results from ebooks that compile articles together from multiple authors. Searching in book reviews can help you decide on whether a scholarly work is worth reading.

The results screen has a few features that are worth taking a closer look at.

First, the  Quick Look  button will show you the abstract and subjects (assigned by the journal, the authors, or the database that Articles+ is pulling from) for each article. This can be helpful for refining search terms, especially if you know that you want to read this piece. Second, both the Quick Look area and the item in the results have a Full Text Online link .

Serendipitous searching happens when you try out a few search terms and use the results to strategize where to go next. The video below goes through a few more tips on searching in Articles+ from either Quicksearch or on its own.

• What Is A Dissertation? Tutorial This tutorial from ProQuest walks through what a dissertation is and how it can help you with your research. It is a great way to get started with considering how they fit into your research, especially if you've never engaged with dissertations before!

Dissertations contain cutting-edge research and are the capstone project for a Ph.D. program. They are excellent places to locate information about new research or under-researched topics.

The best way to search for dissertations  in general  is to use the box in the Quicksearch results. The image below shows an example of what this looks like for a search on planetary formation composition . Clicking on the header icon or the results count will take you to the Articles+ interface with the Dissertations & Theses filter. There's also a button right below the results.

The best way to search for dissertations that have a specific author is to search either ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global (which has a North American bias) or the university catalog at the institution the person graduated from. Either will help you locate whether or not full text exists, and you can be a bit more precise in those tools than you can be in Articles+.

• ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global Online access to over 2 million dissertations and master's theses, many of which are available in full text. Citations of abstracts are available for dissertations dating from 1861 and full text online from 1997. Searchable by university, department and adviser. Note: There are a lot of places to find dissertations. Go to the dissertation/theses resource list here to see your options.
• ProQuest Dissertations and Theses How-To Guide This two-page PDF guide walks you through the ins and outs of using ProQuest's platform for dissertation searching.

Let's talk a bit more about the Articles+ Dissertations filter, though.

The screenshot above shows over 10,000 dissertation results. Most of the results in Articles+ are actually relevant, except for a few literature dissertations with creative titles. We used a very general search, and the high result count proves the point about how dissertations are niche — we need to get much more specific to get useful results.

What if we actually wanted to know a bit more about planetary formation and iron cores? A search like "planetary formation" AND "iron core" will increase our likelihood of success, and Articles+ supports Boolean searching. This dramatically reduces the results — we see immediately something about iron core formation, and there's an interesting-looking dissertation about "superdense exposed exoplanet cores." 

Why Use Newspapers?

Newspapers (and magazines) provide both first-hand accounts and interpretations of events. Depending on how you use a newspaper, it can either be a primary source or a secondary source.

This page will help guide you through finding current newspapers and historical newspapers.

Below are a combination of databases (accessible through Yale) and nonsubscription online resources for science news, like  Eos  (Earth Sciences). 

To learn if Yale subscribes to a specific newspaper or magazine, go to Quicksearch Books+  and search for the title (i.e., "New York Times" or "Wall Street Journal" or "Le Monde"). You can filter to online-only there.

• Alt-Press Watch A full-text of newspapers, magazines, and journals of the alternative and independent press including The Village Voice, The Advocate (Los Angeles), and the Chicago Reader.
• Climate Feedback : Scientists Fact-Checking the News This is a worldwide network of scientists who use an annotation tool called hypothes.is to annotate major news articles about climate change and climate science, correcting articles where journalists have misunderstood the research.
• Eos: Earth and Space Science News This is a publication from the American Geophysical Union. It provides news and perspectives about Earth and space science, with an emphasis on scientist-authored commentaries on their ongoing research and issues affecting the science community and our world at large.
• Factiva Factiva is a news aggregator, which means that it pulls in text-only versions of news stories from across the web. By default, it only shows the past few months; make sure you change that if you need older content.
• Gender Watch Full-text publications that focus on the impact of gender across a broad spectrum of subject areas.
• Guide to Current News Resources A guide including longer list of current new resources available at Yale Library.
• New Scientist New Scientist, started in the 1950s, is a media brand devoted to communicating developments in science and technology, along with the cultural implications of scientific practice and discovery.
• NexisUni NexisUni includes a mix of sources: newspapers, magazines, TV and radio transcripts, company and industry information, and legal information. From the main NexisUni interface, you can either enter a citation or topic to search (in any of the boxes on the first page). Note that it defaults to search for relevance, so if you're looking up neutrino physics, it will default to showing you info about the Nobel prizewinners of 2015.
• Physics World Magazine Communicates research and findings in physics.
• PressReader Access for 3 simultaneous users. PressReader contains many newspapers and magazines in science and history, including Smithsonian Magazine , Canadian Wildlife , and more. The most represented languages are Swedish, Norwegian, Chinese, English, Spanish, Finnish, Danish and French.
• ProQuest National Newspapers Coverage of major U.S. national news sources. Includes Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, LA Times, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post.
• ProQuest News & Newspapers Access to both historical and current newspaper content for various geographic regions and ethnic groups.
• Science Daily News Science Daily News provides research summaries on thousands of topics in science, medicine, and social science. It's good for staying aware of press releases in specific areas of interest, although for more in-depth coverage, one may want to consult the original researchers' papers or more analysis-driven science news.
• TILClimate Each 10-minute episode explains small aspects of the science, tech, and policy of climate change.

Using Websites

Sites like Wikipedia are useful for finding names and dates, but you can dig deeper into your topic by using sources discovered through governmental, intergovernmental, and non-government organizations, or think tanks (a group of experts providing advice and ideas on specific issues). As with any source, you'll want to evaluate what you find to make sure that it's reliable.

Government and intergovernmental organizations

• GovInfo (search engine for the U.S. government)
• United Nations Digital Library
• World Health Organization
• Publications Office of the European Union
• Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
• African Union
• Forum of the Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on Sustainable Development 2022

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Think Tanks

• Union of Concerned Scientists
• List of NGOs accredited at the UN Office at Geneva
• Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
• Human Rights Watch
• Rand Corporation
• Urban Institute
• Harvard Kennedy School's Think Tank Search Engine

Essential Search Techniques

Keyword search.

Search engines, like Google, search by keyword. The default search in Quicksearch and Articles+ is also by keyword (or "All Fields"), where you will return results where your keyword is located anywhere in the record or text.

Subject search

A subject defines a book or an article as a whole, and subject headings link information -- just like how hashtags link conversations in social media ( #basslibrary ). Using subject headings is a specific and effective way of doing research.

Ways to identify library subject headings:

1. Start with a keyword search in Quicksearch and identify 2 or 3 books that are loosely related to your topic (they don't have to be perfect, just close enough). Open the records and look at the "Subject" field -- voila! Write these subjects down, or click on them (they're hyperlinked!) to uncover other material within that same subject.

2. Some resources will offer the ability to browse subjects, for example:

• ​in Orbis, select " Subject Browse " in the dropdown menu from Orbis Basic Search
• in the database Academic Search Premier , select "Subject Terms" in the top toolbar

Boolean Operators

Combine search terms.

You can combine your keyword and/or subject searches by using Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT in an Advanced Search. When combined with keywords and/or subjects, boolean operators will help focus your search in the following ways:

• AND will narrow your search, requiring all search terms be present in results
• OR will retrieve variations ("pets" or "dogs" or "pugs"), so at least one term (maybe more) is present in results
• NOT will exclude items from your search, helping to narrow results to only relevant information

In the example above:

• cats OR dogs will return results where either cats or dogs are mentioned
• cats AND dogs will return results only when both cats and dogs are mentioned
• cats NOT dogs will returns results when only cats are mentioned

Yale and the World

Yale young global scholars announces 2019 program expansion.

Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) announces its Summer 2019 expansion features two new, humanities-focused sessions: Literature, Philosophy, & Culture (LPC) and Creative Arts and Media (CAM) . YYGS is an academic enrichment and leadership development program that brings together outstanding high school students from around the world for nine intensive sessions on the Yale campus. YYGS-Beijing: Asia in the 21st Century is administered by Yale Center Beijing and takes place in Beijing, China.

The Literature, Philosophy, & Culture (LPC) session is designed for students interested in carefully analyzing written texts and developing their interpretive skills. Students will have the opportunity to explore the relationship between written texts and the culture in which they operate, and the texts will be studied comparatively and globally. This session will help students to think more fluently about their places in the world, and to cultivate their speaking and writing skills in order to better articulate themselves.  Engaging with multiple perspectives, students will leave Yale with an awakened awareness of the human condition, ready to reject simple platitudes and work collaboratively and without complacency toward solving both personal and social problems.

The Creative Arts and Media (CAM) session is designed for students interested in the expression and interpretation of creativity. Taking advantage of Yale University’s vast artistic resources, students will engage in a variety of genres, including (but not limited to) theater, film, music, architecture, the visual arts, dance, and more. Students will study the histories, practices, vocational opportunities, and interpretative and critical theories of the arts, and will refine both their artistic sensibilities and their interpretative skills. Working collaboratively, students will explore the role of creativity both in forming accurate and insightful interpretations of communities, as well as in articulating the possibilities for personal, political, and social action.

Students in the LPC and CAM sessions will study topics based upon their preferences. The curriculum will empower students to develop intellectual flexibility and provide opportunities for creative and dynamic approaches to learning and problem solving.

“We’re thrilled to expand YYGS this summer to offer these two new sessions, which address widespread student demand for courses in the humanities and arts—fields of study where Yale University has been a worldwide leader for more than three centuries. This expansion will invite an even wider range of students with diverse academic interests to apply to YYGS,” said Ted Wittenstein, Executive Director of YYGS.

In addition to the two new sessions, this year YYGS will offer an additional session of Politics, Law, & Economics (PLE) due to popular demand.

In all of the nine YYGS sessions based in New Haven, students will attend lectures by Yale faculty, as well as smaller, more intimate seminars taught by YYGS instructional staff. Over the course of each two-week session, students will work in Capstone project groups to identify problems in a specific topic, conduct rigorous background research, and propose impactful solutions to their peers and instructors. YYGS is a residential program hosted in Yale’s residential colleges. Students admitted into this highly-selective program get a taste of the Yale experience through the use of Yale libraries, classrooms, dining halls, dorms, and more.

Sessions and Dates for Summer 2019

With the addition of these two inaugural sessions, YYGS will be offering a total of ten intensive, interdisciplinary, summer pre-collegiate experiences for 2019. Brief descriptions for each of the ten sessions are listed below.

Supporting wales' brightest, my experience at the yale young global scholars program (yygs).

Hi, I’m Rianna and this summer I attended the Yale Young Global Scholars program (YYGS) in Connecticut, USA. I’m writing this short blog to give an insight into my experience and encourage students to apply to what was one of the best experiences of my life. I can’t even fit all the best bits into this blog without boring you to tears but hopefully I’ve covered most of it to give you a good idea!

I’m a 17 year old girl going into Year 13. I took biology, chemistry, maths and art (with WBQ) for AS levels and in my spare time I love drawing and music (you might have seen me in the concerts conducting the orchestra.). When I applied for YYGS, I was thinking about applying for either medicine or architecture for university.

What is YYGS?

The program is a two week long course aimed at 15-17 year olds from around the world. It is very established and well attended, with around 250 teens attending each of the six subject specific courses across three fortnight long sessions.

It is an introduction to life at Yale university and includes seminars, lectures, a UN style simulation, and a ‘capstone project’. There is lots more information available on the website, just Google YYGS.

(The timetable from the website. Each morning we got an email telling us our schedule for the day.)

How I applied

This year marked the launch of the partnership between the Seren Network and YYGS. The opportunity to attend the $6000 course fully funded by Yale and Welsh government was advertised in Dr Roe’s trusty update emails. It seemed too good to miss, although there was only around a week or so until the deadline. I had to submit one 500 word essay, and two shorter essays around 250 and 100 words. Forms, references, records and financial information were also required. It was stressful and very last minute, I stayed up to write until two hours before the 5 AM deadline. Still, it was a small price to pay for such an amazing experience.

The course I applied for

Of the six options, I chose ‘Sustainable Development and Social Entrepreneurship’ (SDSE) because it tied most closely to architecture, which I had explored less compared to medicine. However, I was very indecisive, changing the three ranked options I chose minutes before applying and I was lucky enough to get my first choice.

My favourite learning experience

I loved the capstone project. Nearly every night, after dinner, from 6:30-9 pm, our group of 16 students would meet in our basement room and work on our research and presentation. Our instructors Michelle and Rahim were our supportive ‘parents’ who gave us extremely detailed feedback on every submitted essay and donuts on the last day. Under the group umbrella of “Equity and Poverty Alleviation”, my smaller team of four created a presentation of “Empowering the Bottom of the Wealth Pyramid” that looked into sanitation methods that could be used in East African countries. From capstone, I experienced working with strong group to very tight deadlines and writing good quality essays in mere hours. I also made a new family who I missed very much as soon as I left.

(Our capstone group on presentation day)

My favourite non-learning experience

There were some incredible social events scheduled, most being tradition for YYGS. For instance, the talent show, the speaker series, the late night party on the final night, the quiz night, and the library tours. My favourite was probably the ‘family time’ with our ‘family’ of 8. This was another way we were quickly forced to make friends. Our family didn’t play games like some of the others, but we did get ice cream together, chill in the library basement arguing over which education system was better, and visit my favourite building – the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library

(One of the presentations from the speaker series which used a huge Kahoot game to teach us about writing characters in fiction.)

(Our family, The Gr8est, in one of the coolest buildings ever)

My least favourite part

Some days I wasn’t in a great state of mind to appreciate the lectures first thing in the morning because I was so tired. I usually need about 9 hours sleep but having essays due in for midnight or staying up gossiping with my suite-mates often meant 2am bedtimes and waking up at 7am. Still, getting to spend more time awake and making the most of my limited time was definitely worth it, in my opinion.  

(I got caught napping on this bench like three times)

Any regrets?

I wish that I hadn’t gone into the process thinking that I would never attend an American university. Like many, I assumed that the costs would be far too high to even consider and so I didn’t attend the admission talk or panel. It wasn’t until my last day there that one of the instructors (second year Yale students) told me of another instructor who was from Scotland and was able to get huge amounts of financial aid, making the cost equal to that of attending British university. I quickly rushed head first into researching all that I needed to do if I were to apply whilst feeling that it was all a little too late.

I can’t thank anyone involved with the Seren-YYGS partnership enough. I consider myself amongst some of the luckiest teens in the world to have been able to experience the opportunity, practically for free. I made incredible friends around the world and experienced world class education. It is my genuine belief that this is an unmissable opportunity that makes me so passionate to spread the word and encourage all eligible students to apply. My advice is: definitely apply, you will regret it if you don’t at least give it a go!

(My Breakout session group – we met after each lecture to discuss our thoughts)

(Group ideas from a seminar about the Flint water crisis)

(Me and Marly – the other Welsh student in SDSE from Aber – on the last day)

I also attended the Jesus college summer camp so watch out for the blog about that experience too!

Plus, I will be attending the Seren launch event on September 26th along with some of the other Year 13s who also attended different courses at YYGS. There, we will be able to answer any further questions you have.

Hope to see you there!

Heyyy i loved reading through this blog but i was wondering how you were able to get welsh funding? I didn’t do my GCSEs in the uk so i wasn’t able to get into the Seren Program but is there any way that i would be able to get welsh funding?

Thank you for contacting us.

Welsh Government does not provide individual funding to support applications and attendance to the Yale Young Global Scholars Programme (YYGS).

YYGS is offering a limited number of places for year 12 Seren students to take part in the 2021 online Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) Summer School Programme through a unique co-funded Seren-Yale Young Global Scholars Partnership. These places are sponsored jointly by Yale Young Global Scholars and the Welsh Government. The limited number of places are awarded to year 12 Seren students via a highly competitive application process.

With kind regards, the Seren team.

Yale Daily News

YYGS expands into humanities

Staff Reporter

Yale Young Global Scholars — a summer program for highly gifted high school students — will add two humanities-focused sessions to its course offerings this summer.

The two new sessions — Literature, Philosophy and Culture and Creative Arts and Media — mark the creation of a newly formed category of Humanities and Arts offered alongside the established sessions in STEM and the social sciences. In addition, YYGS will offer another section of a popular session, Politics, Law and Economics, due to high demand.

With the recent additions, YYGS will offer a total of 13 sessions in the 2019 summer, nine of which will be on Yale’s campus. Three sessions will be offered in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Ghana as a part of the Yale Young African Scholars Program. One session will take place in China through YYGS-Beijing.

“Yale’s tradition in the arts, drama, literature, film and media, music, architecture and many other fields, will allow for an impressive introduction to Yale and an inspiring educational experience for YYGS students,” said Ted Wittenstein, executive director of YYGS. “The new sessions have been met with great enthusiasm from students, instructors and faculty.”

In New Haven, the program facilitates three blocks of summer programs, each lasting two weeks. YYGS is one of the largest summer employers of Yale undergraduates, graduate and professional students, who facilitate residential activities and teach seminars to the high school students. Last summer, approximately 1,400 participants lived in Davenport and Pierson Colleges over the course of the three sessions.

The curriculum additions come with logistical changes. The summer program will be based in three residential colleges — Pierson, Davenport and Jonathan Edwards — in the summer of 2019. According to Suzanne Shaw, the executive director of Yale Conferences and Events, YYGS will be her organization’s largest client by 2020. EXPLO at Yale, a summer program which takes place on multiple college campuses, will not return to Yale in the summer of 2020, and upon its leave, YYGS will assume the program’s current position on Old Campus.

The Literature, Philosophy and Culture session will allow students to compare written texts to understand how they interact with culture. The Creative Arts and Media session will utilize the University’s arts resources to engage students with a variety of mediums such as film, architecture and theater. Like the social science and STEM courses, the humanities sections will also feature lectures from Yale faculty members and a collaborative capstone project at the end of the program

“In all YYGS sessions, participants gain in-depth exposure to a particular area of interest through a two-week long collaborative project, under the mentorship and guidance of Yale undergraduate and graduate student instructors. YYGS is excited to engage potential undergraduate and graduate student instructors in the arts and humanities,” said John Whalen, humanities program manager for YYGS. “In the spring, YYGS will work with arts and humanities instructors to design the capstone projects for the coming summer.”

While YYGS will now feature another session of Politics, Law and Economics, YYGS will not add new sessions to its STEM offerings this summer. According to Wittenstein, the STEM sessions have expanded over the past three years. “YYGS will continue to develop these offerings in the years ahead,” he said.

YYGS will continue to offer international programs as part of its mission to engage global scholars. The program began pilots in Africa and Beijing in 2014 and 2016 respectively.

“Even for students who do not end up coming to Yale for college, their connections with YYGS and YYAS leave them and their families with a positive impression of Yale that they will carry with them,” said George Joseph, deputy director of the MacMillan Center, a co-sponsor for YYAS. “Getting them connected to Yale and U.S. higher education plays is an important consideration as they plan their future studies.”

YYGS was founded in 2001, under the name “Ivy Scholars.” The program, then run by International Security Studies, featured approximately 60 participants per year.

Moscow Metro Station Proposal

Variant Studio

Moscow, Russia

A proposal by London-based design and architectural studio VariantStudio to create a noise-absorbing metro station. The station would be covered in porous ceramic panels that would absorb the train noise and the echo from the tunnels, therefore providing a more relaxed atmosphere in the station and creating a much more positive journey. The quietest metro station in the world? Possibly!

Design Team

In the subway tunnels and its premises, the underground trains and a constant passenger flow create a lot of noise and a strong echo. The conceptual idea of the architectural design for Novoperedelkino station in Moscow is to cover the walls and ceilings with acoustic and sound absorbing elements, therefore reducing the possibility of the sound waves to bounce off the walls and ceilings and create echo.

The three dimensional pyramid and prism panels would be created from lightweight and porous ceramic, that would be sound absorbing and fire safe. The finishing of the station would not only absorb noise, but it would be also used as an element for passenger navigation. The walls, floor and ceiling would form a pattern that would point the way to the platform, nearest exits and indicate from which side the train is approaching, therefore helping the passengers to navigate easier in the subway station. Walls and ceilings are created in a neutral ochre tone, but functionally significant elements that require attention are highlighted in more bright blue indigo.

Though the station requires only low and simple maintenance, we've also developed an innovative solution for cleaning the platform wall. The platform walls would be cleaned with a method used in car washing—during the nighttime, incorporated brushes move along the wall and remove tough train grease.

The visual language of the entrance pavilions reflects the main purpose of the station: simple movement. The area between the pavilions is provided with multi-level green zones, pedestrian walkways, shrubs, flowerbeds and recreation zones. Just like the station itself, the green zone is designed to absorb noise from the nearby highway. The bushes are planted and trimmed, therefore absorbing a noise of 40 decibels from the passing vehicles.

Architectural design will provide the passengers comfort and safety.

The quietest metro station in the world? Possibly!

I realize you left the brushes uncovered for visualization purposes, but as I'm sure you know, they would have to be covered so as not to fling grime on passersby! Also, I couldn't help but notice the benches facing the tracks and thought I would paste this:   http://www.core77.com/posts/35103/Designing-a-Solution-to-Stop-Drunks-from-Falling-Off-of-Subway-Platforms  -  For consideration 

There are many Montreal stations that had a bright style to them when new.  Now, half the lights are continually burned out and spider webs seem to never be removed.  Let alone the inevitable filth of 100,000 people bumping in and out everyday.

Looks annoying to clean.

First TBM Used in Moscow Metro Project Starts Operation

The first tunnel boring machine (TBM) used to build a Moscow metro line recently started operation.

Contracted by China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC), a new 6.5-kilometer section of the metro in the southwestern part of the city will serve a building material market and connect to the Moscow Large Circle Line – a traffic artery in the city.

The 6.28-meter diameter TBM will be used in the construction and it is expected that by the end of March three more will be operating at the same time, greatly improving construction efficiency.

Passengers will be able to transfer to the circle line when the new line is completed, which will greatly relieve traffic pressure and make travel easier.
