Alumni

The Native American student population represents a rich diversity of Native nations with a wide variety of interests. While at Yale, Native students have not only been a part of Native American groups on campus but have also been leaders—in their residential colleges, faith groups, Yale College Council, and theater just to name a few. 

Our students have gone on to become alumni who are changing the face of Indian country. We have alumni pursuing careers all over the world, whether it be in their own tribal nations, medical hospitals, Wall Street, African archaeological digs, or the White House; the Yale Native American Cultural Center is proud of the contributions our students have made both on Yale campus and beyond it.
