Yang designed and implemented the Residential Institute (RI) in 1999, still used by the Department of Conflict Resolution Studies (DCRS) in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences and the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Center (HCAS). RI brings distance learning students to campus to engage in on-campus learning, attend keynote lectures, and participate in working groups and social activities. DCRS recently held the 48th RI on September 29-October 2. In addition, he implemented other programs such as the Campus Diversity Dialogues.
