The Academic Strategies Program helps students navigate the “hidden curriculum” at Yale, the invisible set of underlying assumptions and expectations about how to do well as a student. The “hidden curriculum” is implicitly embedded in Yale’s culture. By becoming aware of these implicit norms, students are empowered to take ownership over their academics and get the most out of their academic experience.
Personalized guidance
1:1 Peer Mentoring
Meeting with a peer academic mentor can help you identify your goals and develop new strategies, best suited for you. During a mentoring session, you will ask questions, discuss what has previously worked, and brainstorm new approaches. Together, you’ll create a plan to implement new strategies and set up a future appointment.
Request a Peer Mentor by emailing academicstrategies@yale.edu
