Our Vision
Fostering a Supportive Community
CUSY envisions a vibrant and supportive community for Chinese and Chinese American students at Yale, where academic growth, cultural exchange, and personal well-being are prioritized. Rooted in the values of inclusion and collaboration, we serve as a vital platform for fostering connections within Yale and the wider world.
Bridging Yale and Society
Beyond the Yale campus, CUSY seeks to act as a window into Yale for the broader Chinese society. Through collaborative events, public lectures, and interviews with influential figures, CUSY works to share the experiences, opportunities, and insights gained at Yale with those in China and beyond. By breaking down informational barriers and promoting cross-cultural understanding, CUSY contributes to a more inclusive and equitable global academic landscape.
Impacting Lives, Globally
CUSY allows Yale students to create life-changing programs that impact thousands of students across China and the world. Our three programs—Camp Bulldog, Yale Ethics Bowl, Yale-China Tianshui Project — and our premier academic YSS Journal impact over 10,000 students each year and open new channels of cross-cultural exchange, with an emphasis on training and educating future leaders of the US and China.
