About this Webinar

Summer is more than just a break from school—it’s an opportunity to explore your interests, develop new skills, and strengthen your college application. But with so many options available, how can students choose activities that will make a meaningful impact?

In this webinar, led by Former Yale Admissions Officer Stacey Tuttle, students and families will learn how to make the most of summer through research opportunities, internships, volunteering, independent projects, and other extracurricular experiences. We’ll explore what admissions officers value in summer activities, how to find opportunities that align with students’ interests and goals, and how to demonstrate initiative, leadership, and genuine intellectual curiosity.

By the end of this session, students and families will have actionable strategies for planning a productive, rewarding summer that supports personal growth and helps build a compelling college application!

Stacey Tuttle

Former Yale Admissions Officer

I joined the Yale School of Public Health as Assistant Director of Admissions in 2015, during which time I spent time reviewing applications, advising prospective students, guiding admissions review teams, and traveling with partner schools around the country. I moved to a new role as Associate Director of Student Affairs and Registrar in 2018, and then finally to my current position as Director of Student Affairs and Registrar in 2020. In my current role, I continue to stay in touch with our admissions team; advise current students; develop and maintain student affairs procedures, policies and projects; and manage relevant educational technology and systems. Outside of my work at Yale, I taught in the Public Health Department at Southern Connecticut State University until 2021. As a first generation college student, I have a passion for advising young scholars around their career and college interests, and am excited to be work with students on their educational journeys.
