The Benjamin Franklin College Fellowship consists of members of the Yale Faculty, as well as members of the Yale administration, and other distinguished figures in the community. Fellows meet at the Head of College house each month to gather, discuss ideas, and meet students in the College. They also serve as first year advisors, run the Franklin Bike Shop, and assist the college in a variety of other ways. Our Fellows are generally eager to engage with students to discuss academic and other matters. If you are interested in making a connection with one of the Franklin Fellows, consider asking them to join you for lunch in the Dining Hall, you can find their contact information below.
