[Yale Refugee Project] hosted [a Halloween Party] in the chapel at Dwight Hall and decorated for the occasion. It was a wonderful event where people from all over were carving jack o' lanterns, eating yummy food, and always dancing. I think events like these really help foster a sense of community.

Dwight Hall volunteers devote themselves to causes and contribute time and energy to filling real needs in the community; more than that, however, they think about the wider implications and impact of their work and the social problems they are aiming to solve. -Nancy Alexander '79, SOM '84

Dwight Hall Mission

“To nurture and inspire students as leaders of social change and to advance justice and service in New Haven and around the world.”

Dwight Hall is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization independent of Yale, which was founded by undergraduates in 1886 and has operated continuously since then as a student-led entity. As the Center for Public Service and Social Justice, Dwight Hall reflects a diverse Yale student body and a strong history of social justice work in New Haven and beyond.
