President’s Advisory Committee 2015

In 2015, a diverse committee of Yale students, faculty, and staff gathered ideas from almost 2,500 students, faculty, and staff to develop recommendations for the Schwarzman Center. The findings were issued in a December 2015 report, which sketched how the Schwarzman Center could create new opportunities at Yale while deepening the University’s strengths by drawing upon the creativity of the community, the involvement of alumni, the prominence of the arts, and the rich array of existing programs around campus. The Committee’s recommendations informed the design, development and staffing for Schwarzman Center operations and programming.
