Career Strategy Fellowships Study Abroad

Connect with Former Fellows

You are here

The Light Fellowship Student Advisory Committee (SAC) was founded in 2007 by a group of Light Fellows returning to campus after their time abroad, eager to share their experiences with peers, encourage other students to seek the same opportunity, and give back to the Light Fellowship Program.  

Reach out to one of the SAC members below if you are interested in speaking to a former Fellow about applying to the Light Fellowship, choosing a program, spending a term or year abroad, or have general questions about the Light Fellowship experience and studying abroad in East Asia!

Tip: Contact the Light Fellowship office:

  • If you are interested in speaking to a recent Fellow with similar academic or career interests or who did a particular program or term abroad not represented below.
  • If you have questions or concerns about how your race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, language, disability, religion, or other identity considerations may impact your experience abroad and are unsure which SAC member to speak to.

We would be happy to share resources and put you in touch with former Fellows who are willing to share their experience and insights into these important considerations.

Korean Language Representative
2024-2025

Hi there! My name is Kate, and after completing Korean L3 and L4 during my first year at Yale, I studied at Ewha Womans University and lived in the schools' dorms for the summer term. From art museums to historic palaces to aesthetically-pleasing cafes, I loved expanding my language skills while learning about Korean culture and exploring Seoul. My summer in Korea was extremely rewarding and a ton of fun, and I hope all of you can have the same amazing experience that I did. I would love to chat about my time in Korea, so if you have any questions about the Light Fellowship, Ewha Womans University, my restaurant recommendations, or anything else, please feel free to reach out!
