strengthen our partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (<span class="caps">HBCU</span>s) across the country today and expand educational pathways for New Haven youth. </p><h3>New Haven School Teachers</h3><p>New Haven, as well as the rest of the country, is dealing with an acute and ongoing teacher shortage; in the city, there were 80 teaching positions that went unfilled during the last academic year. There are many reasons for this shortage, including the high costs of acquiring certification and a Master鈥檚 in Teaching degree, compared to the relatively modest compensation in the profession. Yale is partnering with the New Haven Public School system, New Haven Promise, and Southern Connecticut State University to design and implement a new residency fellowship program to provide funding to aspiring teachers, so they can attain a Master鈥檚 in Teaching degree in exchange for a commitment of at least three years of service in the New Haven Public School system. Once launched, this fellowship program aims to place 100 teachers with master鈥檚 degrees into the city鈥檚 schools in five years. </p><h3>Yale and Slavery Teaching Institute Program </h3><p>Yale is launching a four-year teacher鈥檚 institute in summer 2025 to foster innovation in the ways regional history is taught. This program will help K-12 teachers in New England meet new state mandates for incorporating Black and Indigenous history into their curricula. Each year, a cohort of teachers will engage with partners within and outside of the university community to study content and methods related to a particular theme, using the book <em>Yale and Slavery: A History</em> as a springboard. The first year of the program will focus on Indigenous history, followed by slavery in the north, and Reconstruction and the Black freedom struggle. Led by the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at the Yale MacMillan Center, the program will provide a platform for teachers in New England to co-develop curricular materials, in collaboration with scholars, public historians, Native communities, and other groups. The pedagogical materials and methods created through the program will be disseminated broadly for the benefit of students, educators, and the general public throughout the region. </p><h3><span class="caps">HBCU</span> Research Partnerships</h3><p>Yale continues to expand our faculty research partnerships with <span class="caps">HBCU</span>s across the country. These include pathways programs for students as well as faculty exchange programs and other opportunities for faculty collaboration. On March 5, 2024, Yale <a href="https://provost.yale.edu/news/strengthening-yales-partnership-hbcus">announced</a> the <a href="https://faculty.yale.edu/diversity/ascend-initiative">Alliance for Scholarship, Collaboration, Engagement, Networking and Development</a> (<span class="caps">ASCEND</span>) to strengthen Yale鈥檚 partnership with <span class="caps">HBCU</span>s. Over the next five years, Yale will commit $2 million annually, for a total of $10 million, to this initiative. <span class="caps">ASCEND</span> supports research collaborations between <span class="caps">HBCU</span> and Yale faculty, provides resources for <span class="caps">HBCU</span> faculty research projects, and expands pathway programs for <span class="caps">HBCU</span> students. These programs, planned in collaboration with <span class="caps">HBCU</span> partner institutions, commit to increasing representation and amplifying the significant contributions of <span class="caps">HBCU</span>s in shaping the academic landscape. The <a href="https://faculty.yale.edu/diversity/ascend-initiative/faculty-collaboration-grants/awards">first <span class="caps">ASCEND</span> <span class="caps">HBCU</span> collaboration grant awards</a> have been announced.</p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NrgQVqFuZW4?si=IITVwQnngeLN2nts" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><h3>New Haven Promise Program</h3><p>In January 2022, Yale extended its commitment to <a href="https://announcement.newhavenpromise.org/">New Haven Promise</a>, a college scholarship and career development program that has supported more than 2,800 New Haven Public School students, through June 2026. The university also increased its financial commitment to the program by 25 percent annually, from $4 million to $5 million. </p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xgmszPkw9V8?si=eJt3exx6RC-EjHFu" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><h3>Pennington Fellowship</h3><p>In December 2022, Yale launched a new scholarship to support New Haven high school graduates to attend one of our partner <span class="caps">HBCU</span> institutions (Hampton University, Howard University, Morehouse College, Morgan State University, North Carolina <span class="caps">A&T</span> State University, and Spelman College). The program is designed to help address historical disparities in educational opportunities for Black students from New Haven and will grow to include 40-50 Pennington scholars at any given time, supporting students in their academic, financial, and career-entry success. </p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Pennington%20Fellow%20Cohort-2%20%28Yang%29%2052862485530_a396aae344_o.jpg" data-align="center" data-entity-uuid="160f0202-4cb6-4dae-ac3a-4724c08a6cfe" data-entity-type="file" alt="Image of Pennington Fellowship Recipients" width="980" height="653"><p><sup>Celebrating the Inaugural Year of the Pennington Fellowship (Shayne Yang)</sup></p><h3>Law School Access Program</h3><p><a href="https://law.yale.edu/centers-workshops/law-and-racial-justice-center/access-law-school">Yale Law School鈥檚 pipeline program</a> serves first-generation, low-income, and under-represented students from New Haven. The program invests in a class of up to 20 Fellows who are passionate about uplifting their local communities in New Haven and Connecticut. Yale began centrally co-funding the program with the Law School in 2024 to ensure its long-term stability. </p><h3>K-12 Educational Outreach in New Haven </h3><p>Yale dedicates several million dollars annually toward programs for young people in New Haven and the region. Each year, thousands of public school children participate in <a href="https://onha.yale.edu/initiatives/public-schools-and-youth">academic and social development programs sponsored by Yale</a> on campus. These include <a href="https://onha.yale.edu/initiatives/public-schools-and-youth/pathways-science">Yale鈥檚 free Pathways to Science program</a>, which gives New Haven students the opportunity to gain behind-the-scenes access to science laboratories and explore first-hand the new frontiers of scientific research, and <a href="https://onha.yale.edu/initiatives/public-schools-and-youth/pathways-arts-and-humanities">Yale鈥檚 Pathways to Arts and Humanities program</a>, which provides a wide variety of programs for New Haven students free of charge.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <!-- Footer --> <footer class="footer" id="footer"> <div class="footer_primary"> <div class="fs-row"> <div
