Saybrook College, 242 Elm Street, New Haven CT 06511
At the head of the college is the master. In his role as chief administrative officer, he sets the college's intellectual and cultural tone, just as he is responsible for students' physical safety and well-being. Together with the associate master, he oversees and cultivates the college's social life, hosting study breaks, master's teas, trips, and other events. The master and associate master live in the college, in the master’s house, where many events are coordinated.
The operations manager ensures the smooth functioning of the college. In addition to coordinating its events and maintaining its facilities, the OM oversees the college's finances, serves as a liaison between the college and the business office, and supervises special projects.
Supporting the master is the senior administrative assistant, who handles the day-to-day business in the master's office. While coordinating with the staff in staging the college's events, the senior AA works especially closely with students and the SCC in support of their many activities.
The master's aides staff the front desk of the master's office and help students and visitors with the million questions they bring to the office. The aides can help with scheduling a room, getting keys, signing out a DVD or board game, or registering a party.
Professor of Computer Science and Master of Saybrook College, Paul Hudak earned his B.S. in electrical engineering from Vanderbilt University in 1973, an M.S. in computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Utah. A member of the Yale faculty since 1982, Hudak has served as chair of the Department of Computer Science from 1999 to 2005. Together with his colleagues, he developed a new program of study for Yale College, "Computing and the Arts," an interdepartmental major designed for students interested in integrating work in computing with art, history of art, music or theater studies.
Cathy Van Dyke SOM '86, holds a B.A. in chemistry from McDaniel College, an M.S. in environmental science and engineering from the University of North Carolina, and an M.P.P.M. from the Yale School of Management. She spent 25 years in environmental engineering and management helping industries to improve the safety and reduce the environmental impacts of their operations before she changed careers to teach high school chemistry. With her husband Paul Hudak, she shares a passion for the outdoors, enjoying hiking, camping, white-water rafting and cross-country skiing. She also enjoys all aspects of theater, including acting and directing.
In her role as Saybrook's Operations Manager, Ann-Marie Apicella keeps Saybrook running smoothly. The college relies on her to handle its finances, organize major projects, and oversee renovations and maintenance. But while some of this work happens behind the scenes, Ann Marie also works closely with students as they plan large events such as dances, ski trips, and Saye and Sele weekend. As someone who is particularly well connected at Yale, with contacts in every corner of the university, she is the person in Saybrook who makes things happen.

Ann Gilmore is at the center of the action in the master's office, handling the heavy volume of its day-to-day business. If you're looking for information about applying for one of Saybrook's fellowships, using one of the college's public spaces, or planning an event, Ann is the person to see. And because Ann works so closely with the master's aides, the operations manager, and the master, she's a great resource to turn to whenever you're not sure where to start with a project you're just getting off the ground.
