From these morning sessions and the Wellness Initiative evening group discussions, I noticed some important changes in my own outlook on life and I bore witness to some of our students growing and defining or redefining their approach to living and studying at Yale. During discussion groups, Cornelia gently guided the conversation allowing the students to express their thoughts and feelings. She encouraged everyone to contribute ideas and ask questions in an intimate and supportive environment.
Cornelia is a natural leader. She has respect and admiration for the students. The Wellness Initiative will assist students in their navigation of the complicated issues and concerns they will encounter during their time at Yale. It will help them explore themselves and help them to define their role in the world.
