At Dwight Hall, we believe in change. 

We believe that change is possible. That change is worth 

fighting for. And that in these uncertain times, change has 

never been more important.

Students at the Core 

That’s why we do everything we can to make social change 

a reality. And why we are dedicated to shaping those who will 

one day shape the world. 

Through public service, leadership development, and the 

pursuit of social justice, we are on a mission to bring 

about meaningful and lasting change in the New Haven 

community, and the entire world. 

From our Yale Prison Education Initiative, that is designed 

to change the lives and experiences of those incarcerated by 

offering for-credit liberal arts courses, to our recently 

founded Muslim Leadership Lab, that was created to change 

the future of American Muslim leaders. 

And with more than 85 student-run member groups that 

engage 4,000 students each year, no matter what 

change you want to bring about in the world, there really 

is no better place to get started than Dwight Hall. 

Dwight Hall. Change Happens Here.

Letter from the Board Chair and Executive Director 

3 

Dear Friend, 

The year 2020 was one of terrible loss and grief. The health and economic toll caused by 

the COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating, especially to the most vulnerable members 

of our society, which highlights the vast inequity in the United States and around the 

world. In our hometown of New Haven, we have seen the crisis disproportionately affect 

communities of color and the economically disadvantaged. Amidst the suffering, anxiety, 

and disruption, however, Dwight Hall has been a source of hope and creative response that 

reminds us even in the worst of times that places like the Hall bring out our best. Throughout 

its 135-year history, Dwight Hall has seen many times of sorrow and uncertainty, yet has 

always served as a place that renews our commitment to address inequality and injustice, 

to make a difference in the world. 

Since the pandemic engulfed the world last winter and the University went into lockdown in 

March 2020, Dwight Hall students demonstrated their commitment and determination by 

adapting their service and advocacy to respond to the crisis. The Student Executive Committee 

allocated its remaining budget to seed a fundraiser to purchase hundreds of Chromebooks 

for New Haven Public School students to facilitate their schooling from home. The Yale Prison 

Education Initiative switched from in-person instruction in Connecticut correctional facilities to 

correspondence courses, providing an essential lifeline to incarcerated students. And in response 

to a request for assistance from the New Haven Public School District, Dwight Hall organized 

and staffed a parent homework helpline to provide resources to local families and support to 

hardworking New Haven teachers. 

Change can and must happen, including and especially in the worst of times. For more than 

135 years, Dwight Hall has brought people together to transform the world and each other 

for the better. During periods of crisis and great need like these, we have enduring faith in the 

value of institutions like the Hall. Change happens here. 

Yours in Service,

Yale student leaders and Dwight Hall have played essential roles in incubating Y2Y New Haven and working to end youth homelessness 

in New Haven. This year, Y2Y New Haven, a collaboration with students from across New Haven and Youth Continuum, celebrated the 

groundbreaking of a new student-led overnight facility for young adults in greater New Haven. The state-of-the-art facility is scheduled 

to open in Fall 2021, featuring an on-site resource center, job training, and mental health facilities for youth experiencing homelessness.

DWIGHT HALL PROGRAMS AND FELLOWSHIPS 

The organization currently supports 29 leadership 

development programs and initiatives. Dwight Hall 

fellowship programs feature more than 100 individual 

placements annually. In response to student needs 

during the pandemic, Dwight Hall created two 

new fellowship programs. The Community Response 

Fellows program, serving five students, supports 

students who are already active within the social sector 

and the communities they serve by providing a cohort of 

peers, a financial incentive, and professional platforms 

for reflection, communication, and personal development. 

The Family Support Fellows program currently sustains 

34 students, who chose to serve their own family over 

having a resident college experience.

Grace Jin ’20, 

a YANA–Dwight Hall 

Summer Fellow, 

recently earned her 

undergraduate degree 

in Global Affairs. 

Grace’s eight-week 

fellowship focused on 

developing editorial 

strategy and online content for GetUsPPE, 

a grassroots organization founded by emergency 

room physicians in March 2020 to get personal 

protective equipment to frontline health 

workers at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

am inspired by physicians at GetUsPPE who 

“I used their political voice, mobilized to fight for 

health equity and hold leadership to account 

for an antiracist pandemic recovery. As I continue 

to pursue a career in medicine, I am committed to 

the role of health workers in leading evidence- 

based research, health justice advocacy, and access 

to care for the most marginalized populations.

COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH FELLOWS 

Launched in 2018, the Community Mental Health Fellows 

program provides field experience for Yale undergraduates 

with a passion for urban community mental health issues, 

and expands the capacity of the Connecticut Mental Health 

Center Foundation (CMHC) to provide comprehensive 

treatment for people who have mental illness and/or 

addictions, have little or no income, and are uninsured or 

underinsured. Currently, fourteen Dwight Hall Community 

Mental Health Fellows are gaining real world experience in 

the medical discipline. Dr. Michael Sernyak, CEO of CMHC, 

remarks, “The Dwight Hall program allows us to include 

undergraduates in the very important work of providing 

the highest quality healthcare to the citizens of New 

Haven. In this program, we hope to introduce the leaders 

of tomorrow to the real-world challenges of providing 

healthcare in a very complex social environment.” 

Lexi Hopkins ’20 served as a Dwight Hall 

Community Mental Health Fellows Student 

Coordinator at CMHC. Lexi seeks to use her 

Community Mental Health Fellowship experience 

as an anchor to her career in pediatric psychiatry. 

Lexi continues to trailblaze through her exploration 

and research of the intersections between 

community mental health and public health, where 

she currently serves as a research therapist at 

the Yale School of Medicine Program for Obesity, 

Weight and Eating Research (POWER). 

Rosa Shapiro-Thompson ’20 served 

as a Dwight Hall Peter Muehrer Fund Summer 

Fellow at the Connecticut Mental Health 

Center. Rosa joined Dr. Sarah Fineberg’s clinical 

research team focused on Borderline Personality 

Disorder, trained in psychiatric interviewing 

with Dr. Fineberg, and assisted in adjusting 

clinical trial protocols to operate safely during 

the COVID-19 pandemic. Rosa is now continuing 

this work and training as a full-time research 

assistant at CMHC.


YALE PRISON EDUCATION INITIATIVE AT DWIGHT HALL AT YALE 

Founded in 2016 by alumna Zelda Roland ’08, ’16 ph.d., and James Jeter, the inaugural Tow Foundation Fellow, 

the Yale Prison Education Initiative (YPEI) is a program that brings access to rigorous for-credit Yale liberal 

arts courses and other programming to incarcerated students in Connecticut prisons. As of Fall 2020, the program 

has facilitated over 80 unique enrollments in Yale College credit-bearing courses for 36 incarcerated students, 

with over 70 faculty members and graduate students extending access to their on-campus research and teaching 

to students in prison classrooms. 

Supporting Prison Education through COVID-19 

Overcoming the remote challenges 

of COVID-19, YPEI has 

remained committed to serving 

incarcerated students by sending 

and receiving coursework by 

mail and fostering independent 

studies and workshops led via 

correspondence by Yale faculty 

and students. Offerings during the pandemic have 

included a remote Creative Writing Workshop, 

a reading seminar on War and Peace, and collaborations 

with on-campus seminars in American Studies and 

Ethnicity Race & Migration. 

“During a time when everything seems lost, 

YPEI has been the constant certainty needed to 

make it through this pandemic. . . I want to 

help change the world we live in, and Yale is 

giving me that opportunity. I am forever grateful 

to each member of the YPEI team for their 

persistence and assistance. They made me feel 

like I matter, like my life matters. 

—kyle, an incarcerated ypei student 

Students in Action 

YPEI’s core team, currently 

consisting of 12 Yale 

undergraduate and graduate 

students, manages the YPEI 

Transcription Network, assists 

in strategizing coursework, 

provides research support, 

and acts as peer editors with 

incarcerated students. 

Minh Huynh Vu ’20, a recent Yale College graduate 

and current Yale Ph.D. student in American Studies 

and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, 

served as a YANA-Dwight Hall Summer Fellow 

leading engagement projects with the Yale Prison 

Education Initiative. 

“This summer, through adapting to COVID-19 and 

re-tailoring our programming, engaging in a staff 

reading group on Angela Davis’s Freedom is a Constant 

Struggle, and attending events and talks with the 

YPEI team—I was able to expand my understandings 

of the prison system, and therefore of abolition, 

too—connecting it to past historical periods and also 

the contemporary movements of #BlackLivesMatter 

and defunding the police. I plan to bring these 

experiences into my own academic research as 

I begin the ph.d. program this fall.

NEW HAVEN CIVIC ALLYSHIP INITIATIVE 

The New Haven Civic Allyship Initiative is a new platform to help students thoughtfully engage with local issues in an 

effort to redirect resources to New Haven community leaders. The goal of the Initiative is to realize equity and justice 

for New Haven residents by supporting and advancing the front-line organizing and advocacy work of local leaders and 

addressing community needs in the areas of criminal justice reform, reentry, and detention; immigration; income 

inequality; and other issue areas. 

Advancing Grassroots Advocacy in the Elm City 

The Initiative creates an intersection for Yale students 

and community activists looking to merge experiences 

and dialogue on how to build community trust, 

concern, and respect. The program creates a space for 

conversations surrounding allyship that are authentic 

and outside of the traditional academic framework. 

The inaugural Fall 2020 cohort is comprised of 18 

Yale undergraduates. 

The program was founded in 2020 by James Jeter, 

the former Tow Foundation Fellow with the Yale 

Prison Education Initiative and alum of the Wesleyan 

Center for Prison Education at Cheshire Correctional 

Institution, where he spent nearly 20 years. The Initiative 

is co-led by James, Advocate-In-Residence Joseph 

Gaylin ’19, and Dwight Hall Director of Community 

Outreach & Engagement Johnny Scafidi ’01. 

“In creating the Civic Allyship Initiative, it is important 

that we give Yale students a grassroots filter to their 

view of New Haven. We want students to get to know 

the community through community leaders. 

—james jeter, advocate-in-residence 

Mobilizing with Community Leaders 

The New Haven Civic Allyship 

Initiative is hosting a series 

of virtual workshops featuring 

community leaders, activists, 

and local organizers. These 

gatherings often attract 75 or 

more community leaders 

and students. The Initiative 

has become a hub for Yale 

students looking to engage in dialogue on how one 

can partake in advocacy work, including environmental 

justice, prosecutorial patterns in New Haven, 

urban historiography, multigenerational impacts 

of incarceration, solitary confinement, and more. 

“I have always known that our criminal justice system 

is fundamentally unjust, but I had never truly 

realized the extent and lived impact of this injustice — 

especially within the New Haven community — until 

participating in the Civic Allyship program. The Civic 

Allyship initiative is allowing students a window 

into that history and a hands-on opportunity 

to grapple with it and make change for the better. 

—iman jaroudi ’22, new haven civic allyship 

initiative cohort member


May Day 1970: 

Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of a Weekend of 

Action, Solidarity, and Transformative Engagement 

and staff, and sponsored discussions with neighborhood 

leaders, representatives of the Black Panther Party, and 

members of the Chicago Seven. Significant sleeping space 

was made available on the second floor, in the hallways, 

and in staff and student organization offices. The Dwight 

Hall staff successfully organized and deployed 250 

Yale Student Marshalls as a peaceful non-violent buffer 

between the Connecticut National Guard and 25,000 

demonstrators on the Green.

of manuscripts and archives, yale university library. 

Tens of thousands of Yale students, civil rights activists, 

professors, Black Panther Party leaders, and community 

members descended on the New Haven Green to 

have their voices heard in Spring 1970. In 1969, members 

of the New Haven Black Panthers murdered fellow 

Panther Alex Rackley, whom they suspected of being 

an informant. Black Panther Party New Haven chapter 

leader Ericka Huggins, party co-founder Bobby Seale, 

and other Panthers were charged with murder, 

kidnapping, and conspiracy. Denouncing their arrests, 

the Panthers called on supporters nationwide to join in 

New Haven on May Day 1970 to protest the trials. 

Fifty years later, in the wake of the murders of Breonna 

Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery, victims of 

anti-Black violence, the Dwight Hall Student Executive 

Committee urged immediate action from its fellow 

Yale students against systemic racism, police brutality, 

and white supremacy. 

“ Nothing will change unless WE ALL fight 

for change. Systemic racism devastates 

lives every day, as evidenced by disproportionate 

rates of incarceration and COVID-19 deaths 

in Black communities. Dwight Hall is 

committed to opposing systemic racism, and 

its violent outputs, in all of its forms.” 

—2020 dwight hall student executive committee 

As the focal point for the Panther 

demonstrations, Yale opened its 

doors to rally attendees. 

During the May Day 1970 weekend 

demonstrations in New Haven, 

Dwight Hall was the epicenter of 

student planning and response 

to the events on the New Haven 

Green. Dwight Hall provided 

space for numerous workshops 

and planning meetings for Yale 

students, faculty, administrators,

Dr. Mary C. Pearl ’72, ’76 m.phil., ’82 ph.d. 

A Dwight Hall student leader in the 1970s, Dr. Mary C. Pearl ’72, ’76 m.phil., ’82 

ph.d., was part of a collective effort among Dwight Hall students to stand in 

solidarity and safeguard the experience of protestors who traveled to New Haven 

for the 1970 May Day demonstrations. Dr. Pearl shared, “Classmates and I 

(Kurt Schmoke ’71, Nancy Ryan ’71, ’75 j.d., and many others) created a day care 

center for children of demonstrators at Davenport College. Many parents left 

their young kids with us before they went to the Green.” 

Dr. Pearl currently serves as the dean of William E. Macaulay Honors College. 

Formerly, she served as the founding dean and administrative vice president of Stony 

Brook University Southampton. Before joining Macaulay Honors College, Pearl, 

a conservation biologist, was for many years the president of the Ecohealth Alliance, 

the international research organization that pioneered tracing wildlife and human 

disease emergence in relation to environmental change. 

President Kurt L. Schmoke ’71 

Kurt Schmoke, a member of the Yale Class of 1971, Yale Medal 2020 Recipient, and 

Dwight Hall alumnus, is the current president of the University of Baltimore, former 

dean of Howard University School of Law, and former mayor of Baltimore. 

During his time at Dwight Hall, Schmoke was a principal student figure in the 

May Day events of 1970. Protestors from around the country traveled to New Haven 

to decry the arrest of Black Panther leaders, and Schmoke became the first student 

to ever appear before the assembled faculty. Schmoke asked Yale faculty to be 

responsive to the protests happening in New Haven, and most importantly, to the 

emotions of Black Yale students. Throughout the May Day demonstrations, 

Schmoke and other students organized food services and childcare for demonstrators 

in New Haven. With Mary Pearl, Sam Chauncey ’57, and others, Schmoke went 

on to help found the Calvin Hill Daycare Center that remains in operation today 

at 150 Highland Street in New Haven. 

Dr. David L. Warren ’70 m.div., ’70 m.u.s. 

David Warren has dedicated his life to advocating for students, education, and 

opportunity. During May Day 1970, he played an important role, later reflecting, 

“Dwight Hall staff coordinated with the University to provide granola meals for 

demonstrators on Old Campus, and to assist the City in managing the presence 

of 25,000 protestors. The leadership and work of the Dwight Hall staff and 

student volunteers were a significant factor in assuring a peaceful non-violent 

May Day rally, with minimal damage to New Haven and Yale property.” 

He founded the Dwight Hall Summer Fellows program in 1968 and served 

as general secretary of Dwight Hall from 1969 until 1977. Dr. Warren went on 

to a distinguished career as chief administrative officer for the City of New Haven, 

president of Ohio Wesleyan University, and recently retired as president of the 

National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, which he led 

for more than 25 years.

RESPONSIVE AND RESOURCEFUL: Student Executive Committee 

& Dwight Hall Supporters Increase Educational Access in New Haven 

through the Operation Chromebooks Campaign 

In spring 2020, Dwight Hall students immediately responded to the New Haven 

Public School District’s need to close the digital divide faced by students who could 

learn from home and those who could not during the coronavirus pandemic. 

The Dwight Hall Student Executive Committee launched the Operation Chromebooks 

campaign to extend lifelines to third through eighth grade New Haven Public School 

students. The effort raised more than $28,000, providing hundreds of essential 

educational devices for middle schoolers otherwise unable to participate in virtual 

education. The Student Executive Committee extends its appreciation to these 

supporters and partners.

Laura Huizar ’06, ’12 j.d., Serena Ly ’20, ’21 m.p.h., 

Daud Shad ’21, John Taylor, Tim Tompkins ’86,

Madeline Kerner ’07 gained leadership 

skills and became committed to 

public service as a Dwight Hall student 

in the mid-2000s. Her service as an 

undergraduate ultimately led Madeline 

to a role as co-founder and current 

CEO of Matriculate. She reflects, 

“My student experience at Dwight Hall 

helped me begin to understand the 

complexities of leading a team focused 

on social impact and listening and 

learning from the broader community. 

I am grateful to have the opportunity 

to continue my involvement as a 

Dwight Hall Board member and to see 

student-run member groups like 

Community Health Educators thriving.”
