Student Fellows Program
The Tsai CITY Student Fellowship Program recruits ten students across both Yale College and the professional schools to promote Tsai CITY’s programs, events, and other resources. Tsai CITY Student fellows provide (1) outreach, marketing, and ambassadorship services to Yale students; (2) targeted engagement in Tsai CITY programs and initiatives; and (3) strategic advisory support to Tsai CITY leadership.
These students are passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation and the potential of technology and business to create positive change in the world. In addition to acting as liaisons between Tsai CITY and the student body at Yale, they help engage potential partners, sponsors, and collaborators for the center's initiatives.
A key benefit of this fellowship is the opportunity for tailored professional development, such as leadership training or public speaking workshops.
