  • May 7Th Edition
    Yale Class of 1965 What’s New this Week? Weekly Highlights in the Run-up to our 50th Reunion May 7 Edition Class Book Shipped May 6, To Arrive in 2-8 Business Days Almost 900 copies of “Our Stories” were shipped on May 6, so all classmates should have them in hand well before the reunion. We all owe huge thanks to editors Protsik, Schenck, and Woodward for spearheading this amazing effort. As a reminder, our first class panel discussion at 1:30pm on Thursday, May 28 will focus on what our personal essays and survey answers tell us about ourselves. Reunion Badges To Have Graduation Yearbook Pictures We look different today than we did fifty years ago, and a helluva lot younger! To get a badge with your graduation picture on it, you must officially register prior to May 15—another excellent reason to quit procrastinating and get your buns in gear. Registration Momentum Continues to Build Last week was our biggest sign-up week, with 23 registrations. Davenport clings still clings to the lead in the friendly race to determine which College will be honored to dine with President Salovey at our Class Dinner on May 29. NB: only officially registered classmates are calculated in the percentages, so sign up soon! April 29 Edition Pre-reunion Activities: What Will You Do? Active classmates and their spouses have four ways to get the reunion off to a fast start on Wednesday and Thursday: a 50-mile Bike Ride along the beautiful Connecticut shore line, a Reunion Row on Yale’s famed Housatonic, a round of golf on the fabulous Seth Raynor-designed Yale golf course, or a few sets of informal tennis nearby the Yale campus.

  • Yale University Is a Private Ivy League Research University in New Haven, Connecticut
    Yale University is a private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701 as the "Collegiate School" by a group of Congregationalist ministers and chartered by the Colony of Connecticut, the university is the third-oldest institution of higher education in theUnited States. Yale is organized into twelve constituent schools: the original undergraduate college, the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and ten professional schools. While the university is governed by the Yale Corporation, each school's faculty oversees its curriculum and degree programs. In addition to a central campus in downtown New Haven, the University owns athletic facilities in Western New Haven, including theYale Bowl, a campus in West Haven, Connecticut, and forest and nature preserves throughout New England. Yale has graduated many notable alumni, including five U.S. Presidents, 19 U.S. Supreme Court Justices, 13 living billionaires,[10] and many foreign heads of state. In addition, Yale has graduated hundreds of members of Congress and many high-level U.S. diplomats, including former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and current Secretary of State John Kerry. Fifty-two Nobel laureates have been affiliated with the University as students, faculty, or staff, and 230 Rhodes Scholars (the second most in the United States) graduated from the University.[11] Yale traces its beginnings to "An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School," passed by the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut on October 9, 1701, while meeting in New Haven. The Act was an effort to create an institution to train ministers and lay leadership for Connecticut.

The museum’s galleries are currently under renovation and will reopen in 2024 to display thousands of objects, including the first Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops specimens ever discovered. The Yale University Art Gallery was founded in 1832 as an art museum for Yale and the community. Today it is one of the largest museums in the country, holding nearly 300,000 objects and welcoming visitors from around the world. The museum’s encyclopedic collection can engage every interest. Galleries showcase artworks from ancient times to the present, including vessels from Tang-dynasty China, early Italian paintings, textiles from Borneo, treasures of American art, masks from Western Africa, modern and contemporary art, ancient sculptures, masterworks by Degas, van Gogh, and Picasso, and more. Spanning one and a half city blocks, the museum features more than 4,000 works on display, multiple classrooms, a rooop terrace, a sculpture garden, and dramatic views of New Haven and the Yale campus.
