Peter Salovey Yale Quotations

I don't think it is likely we are going to suggest a major overhaul in policy, ... But I do think we are going to focus on ways to help create a culture at Yale in which students can feel that they can have a good time with friends that doesn't necessarily involve heavy drinking.

I think we are very interested in seeing more students from across the income spectrum come to Yale and see Yale as accessible to them,

I think we want to present a Yale College education as accessible as possible to as broad a range of students as we can throughout the world, ... I think Jeff, through his own commitment to diversity, as well as through his own family experiences and experiences at Yale, is someone who will relate very well to all kinds of potential applicants.

We are making sure that these are students -- based on their past work -- who are capable of doing work in Yale College.

Operationally the admissions process is very well run by very well-regarded people, ... That lets us think a little outside the box in terms of the kind of person who we can bring in to provide a vision for Yale College admissions, to provide organizational leadership for the office, and to be the face of Yale to high school students, teachers and guidance counselors all over the world.

At Yale we don’t just want to make new things, we want to make things better.
