Assistant dean will help manage freshman programs
Since the position of dean of freshman affairs was
created in 2005, programs for freshmen have grown dramatically, most recently
with the addition of the Old Campus Fellows and the expansion of the freshman
counselor program. The job of managing freshman academic and student life has
grown to become two positions, and the dean's office has created the post of
assistant dean for freshman student affairs to fill the second position.
The first person to fill this role
is Raymond Ou, who comes to Yale from Johns Hopkins University's Peabody
Institute, where he has held positions in student affairs, residential life,
and conference services. At Yale Dean Ou will work with Dean of Student Affairs
Marichal Gentry, and will administer freshman orientation, the Old Campus
Fellows program, and the expansion of the freshman counselor program; he will
also help develop a network of peer counselors for freshmen that will be
implemented next year.
Symphony Orchestra tours Italy
The Yale Symphony Orchestra made its debut in Italy
this summer, with performances in Rome, Florence, Bologna, and Milan over a
week-long visit. Under the direction of YSO music director Toshiyuki Shimada,
the program included works by Berlioz, Brahms, Ives, Rimsky-Korsakov, and
Vivaldi. A total of 70 orchestra members went on the trip. The Yale Symphony
Orchestra, established in 1965, is considered one of the premier undergraduate
orchestras in the United States.
