A diverse and evolving collection of collaborations between Sewanee and Yale combines the unique strengths of these two institutions, offering exceptional opportunities for students, faculty, and community partners.
This summer internship offers Sewanee undergraduates an eight-week mentored research experience under the auspices of the Yale Child Study Center at the Yale School of Medicine. Based on their interests and goals, students are matched with faculty research mentors in labs affiliated with the Yale Child Study Center, Yale's Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry, and more!
An opportunity to spend a summer and the following semester at Yale pursuing one or more research projects, participating in weekly research meetings, and taking courses offered by the Child Study Center. Students are mentored by both Sewanee and Yale faculty, who assist the student in developing a plan of study and research.
Learn more about the Yale mentors and research projects that students have engaged with.
Sewanee students participating in summer internships and the semester + summer directed research program at Yale have co-authored research articles published in peer-reviewed journals.
Madison Reid's Sewanee-At-Yale summer + semester efforts include work recently published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research! The article, co-authored with Luis Farhat, Michael Bloch, and Emily Olfson, is titled "Prevalence and gender distribution of excoriation (skin-picking) disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis," and appears in the May 2023 issue of the journal.
My name is Madison Reid, and I am a junior Neuroscience and Psychology double major. I fell in love with the brain sciences after taking introductory neuroscience and psychology courses my freshman year at Sewanee.
Research with Yale faculty mentors, shadowing, and courses in Psychology and Neuroscience combined for a meaningful and memorable summer and semester in New Haven for these two Sewanee students.
Congratulations to Anna Püsök on her May 2021 acceptance to the Sewanee-At-Yale Directed Research Program, and on the actual start of her pandemic-delayed time at Yale in January 2022!
A visit to the Domain (it's what we call our 13,000-acre campus) is the best way to determine if Sewanee is a good fit for you. Once you set foot on campus, spend time with our students and professors, or take a stroll through Abbo's Alley, we are confident that Sewanee will find its way into your heart.
Our small classes mean that your voice will be heard, your contribution will be expected, and your opinion will be listened to (and disagreed with, and challenged, and seen from a different perspective, and pushed in a new direction, and considered—and you know what? Maybe we’re both right. See how it works?).
We're a community where everyone has a place and there's a place for everyone. Group study? We'll bring our notes. Rock climbing? We're geared up and ready. Jam session? Sure, we'll play with you. Whatever you want to do, at Sewanee, you'll never have to go it alone. Unless you need your space. Then, we totally get it.
