Yale’s response to the invasion of Ukraine

Yale’s response to the invasion of Ukraine

Yale image for Ukraine

In a statement on March 10, 2022, Yale President Peter Salovey detailed ways the university is responding to the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine, condemned Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression, and vowed that Yale will continue to support students and scholars from Ukraine and elsewhere in the region.

As resources and support expands, we will update this page to reflect those changes. 

Initiatives at Yale

Yale is committed to mobilizing resources and coordinating with partner organizations to help displaced scholars and students who have been impacted by the recent crisis in their country. Additional information will be posted in the near future. Departments or programs who may be able to host a scholar are asked to email: ScholarsAtRisk@yale.edu
