Kimberly Goff-Crews is the Secretary and Vice President for University Life at Yale. The University Secretary role dates to the founding of Yale, with Secretaries appointed pro tempore until 1770, and thereafter created by vote of the Yale Corporation, now known as the Yale Board of Trustees. The University Secretary oversees university ceremonies, diplomas, the academic calendar, and other university functions.
Ms. Goff-Crews is the 20th trustee-appointed University Secretary and the first to hold the joint title of Vice President for University Life. As Vice President for University Life, she oversees non-academic aspects of student and university life in service of the university’s mission, including the university chaplaincy, free expression and peaceable assembly, and institutional equity and accessibility.
