Yeh College

Yeh College, located south of Poe Field, opened its doors to undergraduate students in fall 2022. This new college integrates into a vibrant community-building residential college environment that provides students with a home to support their educational needs. Yair Mintzker, Professor of History, is the Head of College at Yeh. Alexis Andres, formerly the Dean of Whitman College, has served as Yeh's dean since its inception. As the next generation of residential colleges, Yeh accommodates and supports an increasingly diverse undergraduate population.

Yeh provides opportunities and resources similar to those provided at the other six colleges, such as resident graduate students, a faculty-in-residence, dining halls with private dining rooms, communal kitchens, and college office suites to maximize formal and informal interactions with students.
