Each chooses Yale for a hundred di≠erent reasons; this book is about Oa few of them. Our class size of 100 allows us to nurture each student’s own interests, ambitions, and vision of how the art and science of medicine can contribute to the world. What’s your reason for choosing Yale? “MEDICINE 1AT YALE.

  • Connecticut Connections: the Places That Teach Us About Historical Archaeology
    CONNECTICUT_CONNECTIONS_THE_PLACES_THAT 2/28/2017 4:13 PM Connecticut Connections: The Places That Teach Us About Historical Archaeology LUCIANNE LAVIN Institute for American Indian Studies To many people the word “archaeology” invokes images of Egyptian pyramids, Aztec temples, the treasures of ancient Rome. If they are aware of North American archaeology, they usually picture archaeology sites far west of New England – 10,000-year-old early man sites on the Plains or the Southwestern Pueblo cliff dwellers. They rarely consider Connecticut as a center of important archaeological activity. But it is! As the preceding articles on Connecticut archaeology aptly illustrate, our state’s rich multi-cultural heritage is reflected and informed by its archaeology sites. Connecticut contains thousands of prehistoric, historic, industrial, and maritime archaeological sites created by the ancestors of its various ethnic residents. Many are thousands of years old. Because Connecticut History is specifically an history journal, I will restrict my discussion to post- European contact archaeology sites. Archaeology sites provide insights on fascinating and important stories about Connecticut that often are not found in local history books. Domestic, commercial, and industrial archaeology sites provide clues to the diverse lifestyles of Connecticut’s residents through time, their community relationships and events, and the cultural changes that modified those lifestyles and connections. But where can one go to learn about Connecticut archaeology? The best places are the sites themselves. Plan an excursion to some of these wonderful archaeology localities where you can spend enjoyable, quality time with family and friends while learning about a specific aspect of local, regional, and even national history.

    the liman center reports: 2020 Undaunted in Daunting Times The Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law at Yale Law School About the Liman Center The Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law promotes access to justice and the fair treatment of individuals and groups seeking to use the legal system. Through research, teaching, fellowships, and colloquia, the Liman Center supports efforts to bring about a more just legal system. Yale Law School established the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program in 1997 with the support of friends and family of Arthur Liman ’57. In 2017, the program became the Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law. About Arthur Liman Arthur Liman exemplified commitment to the public interest. A highly respected attorney in private practice at Paul Weiss Rifkind & Garrison, Liman devoted much of his time to public service. He was General Counsel to the special commission investigating the 1971 uprising at the New York State prison at Attica and lead counsel for the 1987 Senate investigation of the Iran-Contra affair. Thereafter, Arthur Liman continued to work for reform of the criminal legal system. He helped to establish a number of legal aid organizations, including the Legal Action Center, working to end discrimination against people who have been incarcerated and to reform drug laws. Liman also served as President of the Legal Aid Society of New York and of the Neighborhood Defender Services of Harlem, as a Trustee of the Vera Institute of Justice, and as the Chair of the New York State Capital Defender’s Office.
