About

Through our Sponsored Courses program, the Yale Center for Collaborative Arts and Media (CCAM) hosts courses from across the university, working with them to develop unique curricular experiences that activate our creative spaces and systems.

Application Process

Faculty teaching courses at Yale may email Dr. Matthew Suttor (CCAM Program Manager and Senior Lecturer, Yale College) to express interest. Faculty should reach out by the last day of fall break for the spring semester, or by the last day of spring break for the fall semester.

Please note:

• Only CCAM Sponsored Courses will be offered teaching space at the center.
• We do our best to balance demand and availability.
• CCAM sponsors courses taught by CCAM team members, which receive priority.
• Courses with a clear proposal to activate CCAM’s creative and technical spaces will receive highest consideration.

Collaboration Details

CCAM Sponsored Courses receive:

• One one-hour consultation with a CCAM team member(s) to review the course syllabus and develop the scope and goals of the collaboration.
   
• One class visit by a CCAM team member to speak about resources and procedures, i.e. equipment and space use.
   
• Course meetings in the CCAM Leeds Studio (Room 103) or CCAM Computer Lab (Room 110), per availability and scheduling.
   
• The opportunity to present a showing of student work from the course at CCAM at the end of the semester-long or short-term collaboration.
   
• Additional time, pending availability, in the designated CCAM space(s) for students to work on their assignments or projects associated with the collaboration.
   
• A modest grant distributed at the beginning of the collaboration, which may be used to assist with materials for use in the collaboration and/or to support inviting a guest speaker for the course. These funds must be used within the semester that a given Sponsored Course is taught.
