Welcoming our new ISM students

Hailing from four countries and fifteen states, our incoming class of 2023 includes published poets and authors, award-winning visual artists, and Grammy-nominated musicians. The class ranges in age from 21-61 and speaks Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Italian, and Hebrew. View a slideshow of orientation week activities.

Pictured here, the students participate in orientation which included staff and faculty presentations, a team-building scavenger hunt in Miller Hall (thanks to the awesome Student Life Committee), a visit to the Yale Art Gallery to see the Dura-Europos and ancient art collections, and a welcome dinner at the home of Professor Martin Jean.
