Letter from the Board Chair and Executive Director 3
RECOVERY
In 2021, our public service, leadership development, and pursuit of social
justice transitioned to a completely remote context. It was not safe to serve in
person, so we adapted. Amidst a hybrid return to campus, we recover.
GROWTH
In response to student and community needs, we changed how we served,
and we served those who served. Amidst a hybrid return to campus, we grow.
CHANGE
We are dedicated to shaping those who will one day shape the world.
We are on a mission to bring about meaningful and lasting change in
the New Haven community, on Yale’s campus, and throughout the entire
world. Always, we change.
MISSION
To nurture and inspire students as leaders of
social change and to advance justice and service
in New Haven and around the world

Dear Friend,
Dwight Hall is an institution and community accustomed to transformation. Seventy-five years ago, in 1947,
Dwight Hall participated in Yale’s transition back to in-person learning following the end of the Second World
War. As we look back on 2021, a similar time of transformation and recovery, we see two kinds of change the
Hall experienced: the mercurial change and uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic; and the steadfast and
unrelenting striving for a better, more equitable, and peaceful future for all.
The 1947 Yale Banner described the academic year following World War II as a time “if not of normality, at
least of recovery; recovery of delayed ambitions, postponed goals, cherished traditions.” In this present time
of recovery, it is useful to reflect on the campus’s post-war transformation and to consider how we can
collectively recover today. The year 2021–though not the anticipated return to normalcy–presented an
opportunity for students and community leaders, despite all public health restrictions and obstacles,
to continue Dwight Hall’s legacy of social change.
Today, students gather together in the Hall and around campus to reflect on what the current moment calls
us to do. Our community partners keep us informed of the urgent needs our neighbors face and the complex
ways we collectively can address them. Thousands of Yale volunteers connect remotely with classrooms,
afterschool programs, and public health centers across the city. The efforts required of all of us in this
community to look out for each other have never been greater and the Hall has never been more prepared
to do so under such difficult circumstances.
In an everchanging world, a place like Dwight Hall will always draw new members inspired by those before
and around them who make service to each other and the common good among their highest priorities.
The Hall nurtures leaders of social change and challenges them to respond with humility, deep reflection,
and undiminished belief in the possibility of a just, peaceful, and flourishing future. This was as true 135
years ago as it is today. Change Happens Here.
Yours in Service,
Dwight Hall at Yale is an
independent, nonsectarian
umbrella organization—the
largest campus-based,
student-led public service
entity in the country.

RESPONSE Fellows
Students and staff began a tentative return to a full-capacity campus in advance of the Fall 2021 semester. While this
return required strict adherence to public health guidelines, Dwight Hall programs and member groups saw recordlevel
student engagement.
SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE
The Family Support Fellowship backed Yale students who chose to be home actively
supporting their families during the pandemic. The fellowship provided a small
stipend to students who balanced academics with unique family needs and created a
community of peers for students who had chosen to serve their own family over
having a resident college experience. Dwight Hall wanted Yalies who might have
been at home as a caregiver or helper to know they were not invisible.
The Community Response Fellowship assisted Yale students who were
already working with community partners but not receiving financial support.
It prioritized student-community relationships in New Haven and those who were
directly addressing pressing community needs, such as responding to COVID-19
or creating an anti-racist society.

RECOVERY The Yale Prison Education Initiative
GROWTH Extending Social Justice Conversations
Since Summer 2018, the Yale Prison Education Initiative has
offered transformative access to credit-bearing in-person Yale
courses to incarcerated students in Connecticut. The program has
adapted to prison lockdowns regularly. Would the March 2020
COVID-19 lockdown be any different? In many ways, it was.
The lockdown began on March 12, 2020 and stretched into many
months. If students were housed in different units in the prison,
they were isolated from classmates in other units. MacDougall-
Walker Correctional Institution, YPEI’s primary site, became the
place where Connecticut’s COVID-positive incarcerated
individuals were housed. Many YPEI students were exposed to
COVID, and many lost family members in the pandemic. Some
YPEI students work as Certified Nursing Assistants and were
acting as frontline responders from within the prisons. “Students
were deeply isolated from their loved ones and from each other,”
YPEI Founder and Director, Zelda Roland ’08, ’16 Ph.D. said.
The Creative Writing Workshop
Between March 2020 and May 2021, YPEI ran all programming
by U.S. mail correspondence. Where the rest of the world
adapted to the lockdown with the help of an internet connection
and video streaming technology, students in prison lack internet
access, so YPEI used the postal service. Undergraduate volunteers
Ananya Kumar-Banerjee ’21, Minh Vu ’20, ’26 Ph.D., and
Gabrielle Colangelo ’21 organized a Creative Writing Workshop
that ran entirely by mail. In collaboration with writers from across
the country, YPEI created course packets with self-guided creative
writing units. The incarcerated students completed the units on
their own and then mailed in their progress. Daily, Zelda trekked
to Old Campus to check the mail for student responses and to
post faculty replies. “We were very active just trying to serve the
students,” Zelda said. “We tried to meet the need and desire that
our students had to stay engaged.”

The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation awarded the
partnership between YPEI and
the University of New Haven
$1.5 million
to a support a degree-offering
partnership and expand
incarcerated resources and
course offerings.
Partnering with the University of New Haven
In March 2021, YPEI launched an exciting collaboration with the University
of New Haven to extend course offerings year-round and to offer two- and
four-year degrees in prison. In Summer and Fall 2021, YPEI successfully
expanded resources for students and superseded pre-pandemic
programming, increasing offerings more than fourfold with classes like
Microeconomics, Intro to Graphic Design, Medicine & the Humanities,
and Education & Empire. With more courses, YPEI is also expanding its
student body and working to install a computer lab at MacDougall so
students can have access to word processing for coursework and computer
literacy. “From the very beginning of this program, a very core mode of
being has been improvisation and flexibility,” Zelda said. Responding to
a global lockdown for over a year required reimagining resources and
adapting to provide them. Increased student body. Increased classes.
Increased campuses. Increased resources.
Launching the College-to-Career Fellowship Program
The YPEI College-to-Career Fellowship Program matches formerly
incarcerated degree alumni of any college-in-prison program with (up to)
two-year funded fellowship positions on either Yale’s or The University of
New Haven’s campus. This program allows for professional development,
career exploration, and mentorship opportunities in a wide range of
centers across the university and creates a cohort of fellows integrated
into the life of the university.
Shelby Henderson-Griffith,
College-to-Career Fellow
“Dr. Alexander’s counsel
challenged me to utilize artistic
forms with my advocacy.
She suggested that art and
the humanities are one of the
few disciplines that have
the power to change our
consciousness. By adopting
intersectional advocacy
approaches, we can utilize art
to influence institutional culture
shifts, making slight changes
such as replacing wall art or
creating inviting office space.”
FALL 2021 JANE AND WILLIAM E. CURRAN ’49 DISTINGUISHED MENTOR PROGRAM
On October 7, 2021, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation President and former Yale
English and African American Studies professor Dr. Elizabeth Alexander ’84
visited Dwight Hall and Yale’s campus, speaking on the evolution of institutions
in response to shifting social justice contexts.
With her interlocutor Prof. Stephen Pitti ’91, Founding Director of Yale’s Center
for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration, Dr. Alexander
wove through her upbringing in Washington, D.C., her time as an undergraduate
and professor at Yale, her career as a poet and social justice advocate, intertwining
these career-long threads into a call to action: promote positive social change
by evolving institutions from within them. After the public conversation,
Dr. Alexander sat down with 12 Dwight Hall students to discuss what philanthropy is, what social justice
work and conversations about public spaces should be, and what young people can start doing about
it to bridge their academic work with social justice causes.

THE NEW HAVEN CIVIC
INNOVATION PRIZE
Founded in 2020 as part of Startup Yale (a collaboration
among the Yale Center for Business and the
Environment, InnovateHealth Yale, Dwight Hall,
and the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale),
the New Haven Civic Innovation Prize (NHCIP)
annually awards up to $10,000 to the best studentor
community-led venture or project focused on
benefiting the City of New Haven.
The New Haven Civic Innovation Prize aims to catalyze
student- and community-led innovations that address,
and are informed by, community priorities.
On April 29, 2021, three ventures won funding
through the prize. Seven thousand dollars was
awarded to Project Lighten Up, which aims to
improve street lights and install exterior house lights
in the Newhallville neighborhood of New Haven.
Three thousand dollars was awarded to LawText,
an AI-powered platform designed to support
immigration attorneys and asylum seekers. Collab,
which provides New Haven entrepreneurs with
business support and advice, was awarded $500
for winning the audience vote.
AWARD TO PROJECT
LIGHTEN UP OF NHS
OF NEW HAVEN
The NHCIP sponsored Project
Lighten Up’s current efforts to
install motion-detector lights outside of 80 homes
in New Haven’s Newhallville neighborhood on the
northern edge of Yale’s campus. Installing the motiondetector
lights has additional safety benefits, an effort
with which Project Lighten Up’s community collaborators
were all concerned. According to NHPD Lieutenant
Manmeet Colon, district manager for Newhallville,
“Light adds a sense of safety and security for the folks
in the community…Overall, [lighting] makes an
impact on quality of life issues and improves it.”
Every three years, NHS of New Haven conducts a
resident Confidence in the Community survey. Since
Project Lighten Up began in 2012, “We’ve noticed that
there’s an increase in residents’ perception of safety,”
Director of Community Building & Organizing, Stephen
Cremin-Endes said. “One of my favorite questions is, ‘do
you feel safe in your home, on your porch, and in your
neighborhood walking at night?’ Those numbers are
improving in every category. Project Lighten Up is one
of many factors.”
COMMUNITY PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES OF NEW HAVEN
Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven (NHS) is a nonprofit that has been serving the
New Haven community for more than 40 years. As a site for Dwight Hall Urban Fellows, for
volunteer projects during Dwight Hall’s Days of Service, and as a partner with the pre-orientation
program FOCUS on New Haven, NHS of New Haven serves as the strongest possible model for
collaboration and relationship-building. In 2019, Dwight Hall awarded NHS of New Haven our
Community Partner Award. In 2020, NHS of New Haven:
• Led 6 volunteer projects for over 1,000 hours of service
• Taught 15 online Resident Leadership Program graduates
• Installed 6 rain gardens and 4 other storm management systems
• Helped 400 people purchase a home
• Counseled 42 people facing foreclosure
• Educated 783 people through homebuyer/owner workshops
NHS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FOCUS ON NEW HAVEN
FOCUS on New Haven is Dwight Hall’s first-year pre-orientation
program, which allows students to connect with the New Haven
community through service upon arrival to Yale’s campus.
This past year, FOCUS occurred in person with NHS hosting
five groups of FOCUS students. Over three days, the students
renovated a community toolshed and garden and researched
land acknowledgments and communications strategies
for the organization.
2021 NEW HAVEN CIVIC INNOVATION PRIZE PANEL OF JUDGES
In 2021, management of the prize was transferred from Tsai CITY to Dwight Hall. Yale affiliation was removed as
a requirement to apply, and the judges were chosen for their experience advancing social change in New Haven.

Nick Jacobson participated in the FOCUS program at Dwight Hall when he first came to
Yale in the fall of 2019, his first opportunity to volunteer with Neighborhood Housing
Services of New Haven. In his sophomore year, Nick joined the Yale Undergraduate Prison
Project (YUPP), another Dwight Hall affiliated organization. He currently co-leads YUPP’s
advocacy efforts, partnering with nine community organizations in New Haven and
beyond. Nick has also now been a FOCUS leader for two years, leading a virtual group in
2020 and an in-person one in 2021, back at NHS.

incoming first-years was online. With everyone still at their respective homes, new
challenges like WiFi connections, household disruptions, and time zone coordination
forced the program to adapt. Instead of in-person work, students made PowerPoint presentations, did research,
and learned some faces and names they could recognize when everyone arrived on campus. In 2021, despite
continuing challenges, FOCUS worked tirelessly to coordinate an in-person program. Nick was back with a
wonderful co-leader and nine first-years masked and volunteering for Adam and Stephen at NHS of New Haven.

Celebrating 135 Years 13
Celebrating 135 Years of Public Service and Social Justice
2021 marks Dwight Hall’s 135th-year anniversary. To our knowledge,
Dwight Hall at Yale remains the oldest university-affiliated service
organization independent from its host school and continuously
operating as the central hub for service.
THE BRICK ROW BEGINNINGS
After attending a summer revival meeting in Northfield, Massachusetts
in the 1870s, several college men returned to their campuses that fall
and started their own religious associations. In 1886, the Yale College
Christian Association was given a building on Old Campus, which
was named “Dwight Hall.” Dwight Hall was incorporated 12 years later
as an independent, nonprofit educational and religious organization.
The Hall originally stood in Old Brick Row and served as the
University’s YMCA, as part of a then-larger social movement
known as “Muscular Christianity.”
THE HIGH STREET TRANSITION
In 1930, Dwight Hall moved to its permanent and current location
on 67 High Street. With this move, Dwight Hall replaced the Yale
College Library, which had occupied 67 High Street since the
building’s completion in 1846. The Library moved in 1930 to the
recently completed Sterling Memorial Library on Cross Campus.
As the building transitioned from the Library to Dwight Hall,
a second story was added to each wing of the building.
DWIGHT HALL AS A RELIGIOUS SPACE
As many early Yale buildings (including the original Dwight Hall)
were demolished to make way for residential colleges, Old Campus
dorms, and Harkness Tower, Dwight Hall reemerged in its new
form with the addition of a central chapel. For much of the early
20th century, Dwight Hall served as a religious gathering space.
The Chapel became even more inspiring with the addition of
stained-glass windows.
CENTRAL TO CIVIL RIGHTS
As the Civil Rights Movement challenged US social order, Dwight Hall
served as an important meeting and organizing location for speakers
like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
During the May Day 1970 weekend demonstrations in New Haven,
Dwight Hall was the epicenter of student planning and response to the
Black Panther trials. Dwight Hall provided space for numerous workshops
and planning meetings for Yale students, faculty, administrators, 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. In the years since the ’60s, Dwight
Hall has remained an epicenter for student protests in support of equality
and social justice.
MUCH NEEDED RENOVATIONS
There have been few occasions where operations have physically shifted
during the past 90 years. From 2017 to 2018, for example, Dwight Hall
briefly moved to 143 Elm in order that 67 High Street, now almost 200
years old, could undergo much-needed renovations to better and more
inclusively serve all students.
DWIGHT HALL RESPONDS TO COVID-19
In March 2020, Dwight Hall, along with the rest of Yale University and
the world, closed its doors to slow the spread of COVID-19. After shutting
down in-person learning completely in spring 2020, Yale welcomed a
reduced number of students back to campus for the 2020-2021 school year,
with the expectation that students sign a community compact and follow
local and university health and safety guidelines. For the 2020-2021 school
year, Dwight Hall transformed into a COVID-19 testing site.
By Spring 2021, the Dwight Hall Common Room held six plexiglass boxes
equipped with HEPA air filtration systems. Thousands of COVID-19 nasal
swab tests occurred weekly, as all students in-residence tested twice a week.
Though the space was void of Dwight Hall students and staff, the public
service organization continued functioning remotely. YPEI shipped boxes
of learning materials to its students. Dwight Hall programming
transitioned to frequent online Zoom meetings.
In June 2021, the partitions and the Common Room COVID-19 testing
boxes were taken apart. In August, the Chapel was converted into a meal
pickup site for students fulfilling their quarantine requirements on Old
Campus. As Dwight Hall staff have begun returning to in-person work and
as the university gears up to welcome students back for in-person learning,
Dwight Hall reflects on its long legacy of transition and transformation.

“Collaborating with New Haven residents to plan and implement mutually beneficial programs
can help Yale students transform untested ideas into practical actions that truly change the
neighborhoods both call home. Dwight Hall offers hands-on experiences that augment what
classroom learning simply cannot provide. In this way, New Haven is truly Yale’s greatest
unheralded asset: Dwight Hall and New Haven in partnership help to prepare students for public
service and social justice through opportunities available nowhere else. Dwight Hall catalyzed my
thirty-year public service career at the nonprofit National Institutes of Health fostering evidence-based community
health research. So others may enjoy these unparalleled opportunities, I recycled your tax dollars that paid my public
service salary for thirty years into an existing endowed fund for summer internships in perpetuity and also named
Dwight Hall at Yale as a major beneficiary in my estate plan.”
–Dr. Peter R. Muehrer ’82
If you have already designated Dwight Hall in your estate plan or would like further information, please contact

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
Jerel Bryant ’07, School Leader, George Washington Carver High School
At Yale, Jerel Bryant was an inaugural coordinator for the
Jones-Zimmermann Academic Mentoring Program (J-Z AMP),
which he says shaped his path into education. “I loved the kids. I loved
the dedicated educators that I met along the way. And I loved spending
time with other Yalies who were passionate about empowering kids to
become even better versions of themselves... I’m forever grateful for
my experience with Dwight Hall.”
Jerel currently serves as the School Leader of George Washington Carver High School, in New Orleans,
Louisiana. During the pandemic, the school practiced creative extremism, using the challenge of virtual
learning as an opportunity to redefine an approach for the benefit of the students. In part because of
his leadership during the pandemic, Jerel was Louisiana’s 2021 High School Principal of the year. He also
was awarded Teach For America’s Excellence in School Leadership award in 2020 and 2016.

AN UPDATE FROM THE STUDENT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
“One of the primary functions the Student Executive Committee (ExComm)
served was helping students navigate COVID service restrictions from the
university and answering their questions to get them back to their important
work, anything from tutoring students to volunteering at health centers.
We worked closely with student leaders to develop detailed safety plans
and supported them with resources and logistics.
Erika Mendez ’23
Homework Helpline
Coordinator
ExComm also continues to reach out to other Yale and New Haven groups
to respond to the ever-evolving needs of our community. As we go into 2022,
ExComm is excited to continue to support the needs of students and
community members!”

BOARD MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Get to Know Randi Ilyse Roth ’79
Executive Director, Interfaith Action
of Greater Saint Paul (IFA)
Randi Ilyse Roth ’79 began her public service
career at Yale working for Edna Girardeau
at the City of New Haven’s Office of Research
and Evaluation. As a first-generation low-
income student, Randi used her work-study
position with this office to immerse herself
in programs that met basic needs like Head
Start and recidivism reduction programs.
“While I was not a part of Dwight Hall as
an undergraduate, I was doing the kind of
work that Dwight Hall encourages, and it
was fundamental to the rest of my career,”
Randi said.
Randi graduated from Northwestern’s Pritzker
School of Law in 1984 and has operated mostly
in the nonprofit sector since. As the current
executive director of IFA, Randi oversaw the
organization’s transition during the pandemic.
The largest shelter in the county for families
with children facing homelessness, IFA found
COVID-safe ways to shelter families by
building a partnership with county government
and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet
and moving families into a former convent.
