During a ceremony held at the Yale Schwarzman Center on Monday, Yale College Dean Pericles Lewis expressed gratitude to the students for their dedication and professionalism in the workplace and for their “initiative and innovation to go above and beyond the call of duty.”
“The impact they have had on their place of work has been such that they will be greatly missed when they graduate, and in many cases their impact will last far beyond their four years here at Yale,” Lewis said.
For the students, he added, these on-campus jobs offered important learning opportunities beyond the classroom and a chance to make “valuable and lasting” contributions to the broader Yale community.
