Yale-University—New Asia College Exchange (YUNA)
The Yale University—New Asia College Undergraduate Exchange (YUNA) continues to change the perspectives of 16 different Yale and New Asia College undergraduates each year as they are brought together for an annual program that explores a common social, political, or cultural theme. Now in its sixteenth year, the exchange joins eight students from each institution who pay two-week reciprocal visits to each other's campuses and work together throughout the academic year to research and explore issues related to that year's program theme. The theme for the 2008-2009 exchange is Education.
Previous YUNA Exchange themes:
2008: Globalization & Identity
2007: Ethics & Morality
2006: Poverty and Wealth Distribution
2005: Public Health & Society
2004: Law & Society

In the years since the exchange began, we have seen its impact on the academic, personal, and professional lives of its alumni on both sides as many of the students have continued to engage with these issues and with each other.
