In early fall students from the Graduate and Professional schools apply to become Graduate Affiliates for the residential colleges. (And we only pick the best for Morse!) These affiliates are available to give Morsals advice on their studies, careers, and grad school, New Haven life outside of Yale College, life after college, the “real world,” or anything really! They host events and study breaks for students. You will see them in the dining hall and at IM games. Feel free to reach out to any graduate affiliate; they are here for you!
You can learn more on the Yale College Graduate Affilates Program page!

Yanbo Li |
Hi Morsels! I’m a first-year grad student at the School of Architecture and a proud member of the Morse Class of 2016. Between then and now I’ve lived and worked in New Haven, Baltimore, and New York doing all sorts of art and design related things. I live in East Rock, and I love cooking and spending time outdoors. Back in undergrad, I was a Morsel manager and involved in a bunch of other stuff, but now I’m prioritizing doing less, so I can give more of myself to the things and people I care about the most! |

I grew up across the US, India, and Singapore and graduated from Stanford University, where I majored in Philosophy and Political Science. Before law school, I worked for the US Senate Rules Committee, where I assisted with voting rights and election administration research, and at a nonprofit focused on institutional reforms to strengthen American democracy. In addition to election and civil rights law, I am interested in political philosophy and global education. I also love to read fiction, watch TV, and drink tea.

Christina Waldron |
Hi! My name is Christina, and I am currently a second-year medical student from St. Paul, MN. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2021 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and a B.M. in Piano Performance.
While at UT-Austin, I conducted biomaterials-based tissue engineering research, enjoyed teaching students everything from engineering statistics to piano, was heavily involved in the UT chapter of TBP, and completed my first triathlon. After graduating, I took one gap year where I moved to Pittsburgh, conducted research on genetic cardiomyopathies at the Vascular Medicine Institute, and ran my first marathon!
In my spare time, I enjoy running with friends, baking, reading, hiking, and any other outdoor activity. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any and all questions! I would love to talk to you about pre-med/medical school, research, being vegan in New Haven, or anything that’s on your mind.
