Yale Global Alumni Leadership Forum

November 18-21, 2015 New Haven, Connecticut, USA

This third annual YaleGALE @ Yale is produced by the Yale Global Alumni Leadership Exchange (YaleGALE), a strategic initiative of the Association of Yale Alumni (AYA).

Producer: Ben Slotznick ’70, ’73 Dra

Aspects of this Forum are funded in part by the Electronic Literacy Fund. Welcome

Greetings, and welcome to New Haven, known as the Elm City, for those stately trees, some of which still grace the New Haven Green in the center of town. This time of year the winds often blow cold as a premonition of winter, but it warms our hearts that all of you chose to spend it here in New Haven with us at this third annual YaleGALE @ Yale Global Alumni Leadership Forum. We are pleased to be hosting over thirty of you, representing more than twenty universities and service organizations from more than ten countries on four continents. We hope you find this a meaningful and worthwhile learning experience.

Welcome also to the campus of Yale University. As you walk among the buildings this week, you will see a bit of the architecture that makes up the residential colleges and the campus culture of Yale. The sheltering quadrangles are a key ingredient in creating a university experience that engenders the lifelong loyalty of alumni.

Your first sessions are in the Afro-American Cultural Center, also known as “The House”. It sits at the edge of the architecturally distinct central portion of the Yale Campus. Since 1969 (since 1970 in this location), the House has represented the vital and vibrant presence of African-Americans (and those interested in African-American cultural) at Yale. This year it is most appropriate that this Forum be held at The House, as Yale is in the process of reflecting how its symbols and traditions resonate with not just African-Americans, but all of its extended family.

During this week, you will also see and experience Assembly – the Yale alumni way of learning from each other and honoring our own. At the end of the week you will get to be part of the fall tradition of American universities – the football game. Altogether, this week of festivities is much like the annual Homecoming at universities elsewhere in the world.

Thanks for joining us.

Boola, boola.

Saturday, Nov. 21

Morning: Self-Guided Tours of Yale: For several self-guided tours that can be downloaded as pdfs see the Mead Visitor Center website: http://www.yale.edu/visitor/. There is also a walking audio tour that can be downloaded as an MP3 from that website.

There are free shuttle buses to the Yale Bowl football stadium. They leave from the Payne Whitney Gymnasium near the corner of Tower Parkway and Broadway.

12 noon – 2:30 p.m.: AYA Pre-Game Hospitality Tent (Yale Alumni Village) Near Portal 17 on the west side of the Yale Bowl

Join Yale Alumni at the popular “AYA Alumni Village.” This free open-air reception for all Yale alumni and their guests provides a place to meet up with classmates and others before going to the Yale-Princeton football game. There will be free hot dogs, chowder, cookies, hot beverages and other refreshments.

For Forum attendees: The festive partying held outside the stadium in the parking lots is an American tradition known as “tailgating”. Many bring picnic tables and even barbeque grills. Some people have such a good time at the tailgate parties that they never actually attend the football games. This is especially true at the top football schools where a ticket might cost $100 or more. Enjoy yourself, but be careful, because there are lots of people, many vehicles, and sometimes accidents happen.

2:30 p.m.: Saturday Football (American-style football): Yale vs. Harvard at the Yale Bowl

Page 19 Volunteer-run Reunions – the Professional’s view

At Yale every graduating class holds a reunion on campus every 5 years. Several professionals at the Association of Yale Alumni (AYA) work primarily with Classes (the groups of students who graduated from the College in a specific year). Each professional usually works the same reunions each year, for example, the 40th, the 45th, the 50th and the 55th. Each Yale College Reunion is planned in partnership with between one and three volunteer reunion chairs who are appointed by their class secretary (or what might be called their class “president”). While the reunions themselves vary greatly in character, there are some common principles that govern the way AYA shepherds reunion chairs through the reunion planning process.

Here are some best practices and logistical concerns that you might keep in mind:

1. Train your volunteers well. Reunions can be very complex and involve a number of different deadlines for tasks ranging from communications to budget building to decisions about menus. AYA helps reunion chairs get their minds around this complexity in two ways: by inviting them to a day-long Reunion Chairs Workshop nine months in advance, and by providing them with a binder full of information and a planning calendar, to keep them on track in the following months.

2. Share information about past reunions. Reunion chairs are always invited to attend the corresponding reunion the year preceding their own gathering in New Haven. They also have access to the printed programs of several previous reunions. From this kind of exposure to what classes have done before them, reunion chairs can make informed decisions about what might work best for their class.

3. Stay in constant touch. Staying in touch with reunion chairs and their committees is very important. The best ways to do so may depend on the age group with which you are working. For some professionals at AYA, the most frequent correspondence with chairs is by email. For professionals working with older alumni the most frequent method may be by telephone. Some get reunion chairs and committees together by conference call on a periodic basis. Staying informed about what your chairs are planning helps prevent misunderstandings and even disaster. You may spend a significant amount of time writing emails explaining why something will or will not work. Your steady and encouraging advice will be the key to their success.

4. Leave the details to professionals. If your budget permits it, make sure that the logistics of a reunion are overseen by professionals. This means not just alumni relations professionals, but also caterers, tent companies, furniture rental companies, sound and lighting technicians, and the like. Yale handles the cost of these vendor services by charging each class a flat per-person price. When university alumni relations professionals have long-term relationships with the reunion vendors (both on and off campus ones), the university professionals can negotiate more effectively than volunteers who may work with this vendor only once in a lifetime. This is also important because the university may be the one ultimately paying the bill.

5. Encourage creativity. While much of your job will be to manage your reunion chairs, and to make sure that the logistics of the reunion run smoothly, don’t be too quick to dismiss a creative idea. This may be a desire to expand or adapt what some other class did, or to try something entirely new.

6. Show your appreciation. In addition to thanking your reunion chairs throughout the planning process, consider some kind of gesture during the reunion itself, or afterwards. For example, AYA offers reunion chairs accommodations in a guest suite on-campus at their reunion headquarters. This allows them to be close to the action but still enjoy the comforts of air- conditioning and other amenities. On the day a reunion chair arrives for the reunion, AYA has a box of locally baked gourmet cookies ready for them; and sometime during the summer following the reunion the Executive Director sends each reunion chair a thank you letter accompanied by a modest gift.

Page 20 Building Attendance at a Reunion – the art of the invitation Publicizing a reunion is essential, but not enough to draw strong attendance. Just like a party or wedding, people want to get the formal invitation and the personal invite. They want to know that they are welcome, that they will know the other guests, and that they will enjoy themselves enough to justify the time and expense of participating.

Issue the formal invitation. Use snail mail for a “Save-the-Date” postcard, then later the formal invitation. (It has higher impact than email or other electronic media.) Back them up with email notices. When appropriate, snail mail missives should request email addresses for future emails. It’s a good way to gather and update contact information.

Personalize it. The more personal the invitation, the more persuasive. The most compelling is made face-to-face by a friend. Next is a phone call – from someone you know. Then a written invitation personalized just for you. Blast emails and public notices are much less effective. That’s why attendance committees that personally contact as many potential reunion attendees as possible are so important. Effective efforts to boost attendance take a lot of work.

How do you maximize opportunities for face-to-face invitations? Create a series of pre-reunion events throughout the key regions where most invitees live. Ask local enthusiasts to help organize and host events in the many regions where potential attendees are concentrated or scattered. Hosts need to help guests enjoy the event AND invite each guest to the reunion – and everyone must enjoy the event enough to want to do it again by coming to reunion. A by-product is that each event creates multiple points of communications (see below): announcing each event and then reporting on the fun everyone had at it.

How do you maximize opportunities for one-to-one verbal invitations? Appoint an Attendance Committee, whose job includes contacting as many invitees – one-to-one – as possible.

Attendance Committees need to be large. Remember the phone tree rule of thumb: each person should only have to telephone 5 to 8 other people. See http://www.aauw.org/resource/how-to-build-a-phone-tree/.

Attendance Committees need to be diverse. If you include just your friends, you will only phone each other. Instead, include someone (or two or three) from every sports team to phone members of that team. Include representatives from every singing group, orchestra, marching band, drama society, improvisation group, debating club, student political association, dance troop, religious society, fraternity, sorority, student newspaper, literary magazine, humor publication, ethnic cultural center, student government, honor society, social service organization, residential dormitory … the list goes on. The value of a university supporting many student groups is not only that they enrich the students’ life while at university, but also that they provide a way to connect with them once they have left. Remember that alumni might not give contact information to the university, but their friends and teammates still know how to reach them.

Student phone banks. Phone calls from people outside the reunion guest list are much less effective. However, alumni will often politely take calls from students – especially if they are not being asked for money. In addition, the cost of student phone banks may be much less than a commercial operation.

Recorded phone-trees. Everyone hates incessant robo-calls. However, a few short, select and well-though- out recorded messages may be useful. A short recorded call from a famous classmate may produce good results. So may one from the class treasurer saying he’s not asking for dues, just asking you to join the fun. For additional information see https://www.callfire.com/help/glossary/communications/phone-tree.

Repeat it. Reinforce the invitation – and the message of community – through repetition. Tell people to “save the date” long before the actual invitation – then later send out reminders. Plan the basic timeline for contacting people long before the event – have a timeline in place at least a year ahead. Include the date of each specific communication, the type of media (e.g. phone, email, alumni magazine), the deadline for creating it and who is responsible for the creation and delivery. Using multiple media channels strengthens and deepens the message.

Remember, building attendance is work, but it should be fun too. It’s a good opportunity to talk with old friends. Page 21 Strategic Planning: Generating Bold Ideas Ideation (the formation of ideas or concepts) is foundational to the development of a strategic plan. It is essential in order to move the alumni relations effort forward in a bold way. At the same time, effective strategy calls for a meaningful assessment of the attractiveness and feasibility of each idea among those generated. Clear priorities among an often wide ranging set of ideas need to be established.

Tap peer groups and engaging diverse stakeholder groups to identify a broad range of ideas. Ask what your alumni relations organization could do or be. Such outreach ensures a rich context for strategic planning discussions.

Why Bold Ideas are Important This may be self-evident, but without bold ideas, alumni organizations are destined to implement the same tactics in the same ways. They will likely serve a same, small subsection of alumni. Bold ideas are required in alumni relations to enlarge and engage alumni audiences.

Examples of Bold Ideas in Alumni Relations at Yale • Organizing around Shared Interest Groups instead of just classes and geographic clubs • Authorizing alumni to self-organize (a fundamental governance decision) • Feb Club (Yalies will self-organize to party around the world) • Yale Day of Service (once a year, all Yalies will be called upon to provide community service, and that will be sustainable and meaningful) • YaleGALE (alumni volunteers sharing best practices in alumni relations others from around the world) • Yale Veterans Association (a shared interest group of alumni who have served in the military) • Yale alumni Civil War trip (educational travel run by a regional association for fundraising purposes)

Characteristics of Bold Ideas Bold ideas challenge assumptions in new and interesting ways. In essence, they are sometimes unsettling. The bigger the idea, the more change is involved – and therefore the greater likelihood for stakeholders to reject the idea (“That’s not how we do things here” or “We tried something like that and it failed”). Consider taking advantages of new opportunities caused by disintermediation. Examine where new technologies and social media platforms provide blank canvases for re-imagining existing activities. For example, what is the value of an in-person reunion in an era of Facebook and social media? Or, how does social media create opportunities for new forms of alumni engagement, including self-organizing?

Idea Generation During the Life of a Strategic Plan

•Inventory •Impact •Planning Idea •Assump- Filtering Ongoing •Engagement •Resources Idea to •Piloting genera- tions the big idea •Assessment •Commit- execution •Life cycle tion •Peers list sourcing •Adaptability ment •Ownership •Alumni

A successful strategic planning process will intentionally seek out and explore a range of ideas. A plan that propels the alumni organization forward will likely need a combination of ideas that are bold (giant steps) and others that are more incremental in nature (baby steps) . Cast a wide net. Then rigorously filter the big list of ideas. This creates a platform for a strategic plan with impact and enhanced alumni engagement.

Page 22 Hosting An Alumni Event

A well-produced event can help launch a new group, a SIG, and even a major movement. Here’s a reference sheet to help AYA leaders think through the key issues in organizing an alumni event.

What: . What is the purpose of the program or event? . What needs, concerns, and issues are we addressing? . What is the ideal outcome?

Who: . Who will lead the project? Perhaps the single most important success factor. . Who will serve on the project team? . How can we collaborate with other Yale organizations, including AYA, SIG’s, Clubs, Classes? . Who is our audience? . Who are we trying to help? . Who must we engage to speak, participate, appear?

When: . When is the event/program scheduled and for how long? . Is this a one- time event or recurring (monthly, bimonthly, quarterly)? . Consider conflicts with religious holidays, summer departures, etc.

Where: . Where will event/program take place? . Costs, headcount capacity, security issues? . Do we charge a program or event fee? . Can AYA help defray costs? . Will outside sponsors participate?

How: . How do we organize, market, promote the event/program? . Optimize the use of social media. . How do we define success? . How can we maximize success? . Always be mindful and protect the Yale brand.

Page 23 Building community through Symbol, Ritual & Tradition

Symbols, rituals, and traditions create a university’s brand. They distinguish one university from another. But rituals and traditions do much more when they are participatory experiences, or reminders of those experiences.

• They create strong memories which bind alumni to the time and place of their youth at university. • They create common memories among graduates who attended university together, but did not know each other there, or did not have other common interests. • They create a similar experience and a sense of shared memories for multiple generations of students and people from different eras. • They can also reflect cultural values that reflect the institution’s values and bind generations together. • They can sometimes offer alumni not just memories, but a way to continue to participate in traditions, along with other alumni and students, and re-experience their transformative effects.

For look at how social interactions and rituals bind groups together see the work of Randall Collins. (For a quick look at what his work suggests for alumni relations, see http://alumnivolunteer.org/binding-communities/.)

Encourage and support a multiplicity of student groups, organizations, teams, and activities. Student activities have value in themselves for the actual and interpersonal skills they impart. They also develop their own symbols, rituals, and traditions. These may be embraced by the entire university community. The student group (its existence and excellence) can itself becomes a symbol. Alumni are often willing to provide monetary support to continue it.

• MIT has a tradition of highly-engineered student pranks (such as putting a police car on the roof of a building). Very few students are actually involved in pranking, but the whole community takes pride in their ingenuity. • Yale has a tradition of a cappella singing groups. Most alumni were not members of a singing group, but such singing groups often perform at reunions, reminding all alumni of that part of the undergraduate culture. • Penn State has a tradition of excellence in football. Other universities take pride in excelling in major sports. • MIT has a tradition of excellence in pistol shooting – and ballroom dancing. Minor sports performed with distinction instill communal pride and counter stereotypes (e.g. these sports counter a stereotype that engineers are all awkward and un- coordinated). The MIT pistol team often triumphs over the U.S. military academies.

Sometimes traditions and rituals need to be monitored or managed by the university or sponsoring organization so that they develop into nurturing traditions rather than personally destructive ones. Keep things safe.

Institutionalize rites of passage, but make them accessible and revisit-able. Both official and unofficial times of celebration can be turned into memory palaces.

Make pageantry understood by the audience. A convocation for entering students or a graduation exercise are often produced with theatrical pomp and circumstance. However the symbol and gesture from long ago may not be understood by today’s students or their parents. Make each song and ceremony relevant. Think about the Parents Parting Ceremony at Morehouse.

Memorialize the seasons of youth. Student entertainment, especially when seasonal (such as a winter carnival or spring celebration) or geared to a specific time at university (such as a senior prom) can become concrete memories of time and place. These can be recalled when the seasons turn each year. University team sports can do the same.

Create and preserve spaces to remember. On some campuses, students rub the toe of an iconic statue for good luck. On others, couples may propose marriage under a particular bell tower. In others there are places not just to study, but to grab a cup of coffee, or to sip a glass of wine, or just hang out. If there are not places at university to remember having a special time, no one will remember much of the university. See also The Architecture of Return: http://looksetveritas.com/yalegale/resources/wp- content/uploads/2014/12/Architecture_of_Return.pdf.

Recognize and nurture those traditions that promote university values. Service projects can promote town-gown relations or unite far flung alumni. For example, at Yale, many community service projects are run under the umbrella organization Dwight Hall: http://dwighthall.org/. At Penn State, THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, which runs a year-long fundraising effort that culminates in a dance marathon attended by thousands, and viewed on the internet by 150,000: www.thon.org. Funds go to fight pediatric cancer.

Extend traditions so that alumni can participate – and not just as spectators or donors. See, http://looksetveritas.com/yalegale/resources/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Organizing_by_Passions.pdf.

Page 24 Capital Campaigns – High Impact Philanthropy

Differences between a capital campaign and an annual campaign. Capital campaigns were originally multi-year efforts to raise funds for specific physical capital improvement projects such as a building. The term has come to mean any multi-year fundraising effort for specific well-defined goals. In contrast, an annual campaign raises funds for current (and typically unrestricted) operating expenses. Both capital and annual campaigns involve specific accounting practices.

The largest “cornerstone” gifts to capital campaigns often – but by no means always – are the result of personal relationships nurtured over time and on trust and motivated by shared priorities.

In capital campaigns, donors are asked to give from both their assets and their income. They are asked for “stretch” gifts, not easy or ordinary ones. Gifts are often pledges paid over multiple years (sometimes even beyond the life of the campaign). For more on large capital or “stretch” gifts see: http://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/so-called-stretch-gifts-growing-in-popularity. Various methodologies can be used for determining an individual’s giving capacity and inclination. See: http://www.apragny.org/calendar/events_0708/docs/071106_apravs_bw3.pdf Page 18. Good prospect research (which accurately assesses prospects’ capacity, inclination, and priority interests) can make or break a capital campaign.

The types of capital campaigns. • Comprehensive campaigns: More typical of universities and colleges, all types of giving count in the totals, including annual giving, planned giving, as well as gifts for facilities, current use programs, and endowment. They usually last 5 – 7 years (or longer) with a 2 – 3 year “quiet phase,” followed by a public phase. They are often linked to institutional strategic plans and address important priorities that have the potential to advance the institution significantly.

• Single-priority campaigns. More typical of independent or boarding schools and cultural institutions, these efforts usually focus on endowment OR facilities OR financial aid, etc. They usually last 2 – 5 years, and may rely on a few key donors and not include a highly-public phase.

The stages of a capital campaign. A capital campaign used to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, but many development efforts now run in a continuous cycle. There is a planning stage, a quiet fundraising stage, a public fundraising stage, and a quiescent time before the next capital campaign begins.

The planning phase is essential to a successful campaign. It occurs before the campaign is even launched. • Commission a Feasibility Study, to determine (a) inclination and capacity of identified constituency to give to the institution and (b) the appropriate monetary goal considering results of study. • Recruit and train a professional staff with the expertise needed to reach goal(s). Equip them with high-quality in-depth prospect research and an accurate, flexible, and responsive database. • Determine campaign priorities. Make sure these are linked to the institution’s mission and resonate with the constituency. • Solidify campaign leadership. Senior staff should commit to stay in their positions until end of campaign; key volunteer leadership should be identified and recruited.

For a discussion of the campaign stages written as a workbook, see http://www.grassrootsfundraising.org/wp- content/uploads/2011/08/Conquer-Capital-Campaigns-Wkbk.pdf. See also: www.capitalcampaigns.com. • 25 years ago, typically 80% of the money was contributed by 20% of the donors; today it is closer to 95/5. • A campaign is typically not made public until 35 – 50% of the goal has been achieved. • The amount contributed by the Board depends on the size and constituency of the Board and the Campaign goals; it can range from 10 – 50%.

Some hints to running a successful campaign: focus on the critical few who can make large leadership commitments, but provide opportunities for the faithful rank and file to play a role; frame your need in terms of community benefits, train volunteers to close gifts, and have the courage to stand behind a dollar goal and a deadline. https://www.guidestar.org/Articles.aspx?path=/rxa/news/articles/2012/five-capital-campaign-secrets.aspx.

Engaging the volunteers and non-professionals. Most successful campaigns actively involve the organization’s CEO and governing Board – even when they are volunteers. For some organizations a key function of such boards is fundraising. Some ways to get their enthusiastic buy-in: deal directly with their distaste for fundraising, explain that it is not about the money ( it’s about changing lives), empower them to seek friends not donors, focus on the important jobs not involving “the ask” such as creating new friends, involving current ones, and thanking donors: http://www.gailperry.com/board-training/get-your-board- members-fired-up-and-in-action-for-the-cause-articles/four-steps-to-take-board-members-from-fear-of-fundraising-to-enthusiasm. Use these tips for campaign committees, too. Page 25 Fundraising with “Friends of” organizations What are “Friends of” organizations? The term refers to a U.S. not-for-profit corporation that has been granted a tax exempt 501(c)(3) status as a public charity – and which has a primary purpose of raising funds in the United States to carry out activities overseas or make grants to an organization located in a foreign country. The term 501(c)(3) refers to a section of the United States Internal Revenue Code.

Why use “Friends of” organizations? They make donating money easier and more attractive for both U.S.-based individuals and U.S. private foundations, for several reasons, including that the donation to a charity may have tax benefits to the donor. “Friends of” organizations (as tax-exempt charities) may have certain tax savings in their operations compared to other organizational forms. For a discussion of their uses and alternatives see: http://www.trust.org/contentAsset/raw-data/9ac67b50-b2b2-44bd-8342-bb539bfdcb8d/file.

Opportunities to serve alumni and supporters. A “Friends of” organization can hold networking, social, informational, and public relations events. While these events advance the fundraising aims of the organization, they also build community among alumni and supporters. In this sense, the organization can function like an alumni regional association abroad (see YaleGALE information on that topic, as well as regional associations in general). The types of programming and volunteering that promote a sense of community among this set of “friends” also create real friendships. Group involvement can help develop a culture of loyalty to the group itself and the foreign university, even when that is not part of the culture of the university itself. In short, while usually intended for purposes of fundraising “Friends of” organizations can also help raise friends.

How does one create a “Friends of” organization? Because creating a corporate entity involves legal matters, the short answer is get an attorney, and possibly an accountant. Corporation papers have to be filed with a state. A request for tax exempt status has to be filed with the U.S. government. Many states also require a separate registration as a charity in order to ask for money from people who live there. See http://www.trust.org/contentAsset/raw- data/9ac67b50-b2b2-44bd-8342-bb539bfdcb8d/file. The organization does not have to have the words “Friends of” in its name – and some now recommend against that: http://nonprofitbanker.com/fundraising/are- %E2%80%9Camerican-friends-of%E2%80%9D-organizations-a-thing-of-the-past/.

Legal regulations. “Friends of” organizations are subject to extensive federal and state regulation, so can be expensive or laborious to establish and maintain. The “Friends of” organization, and its board of directors, must be independent of the foreign organization. The Board cannot all be employees of that foreign university so it is an opportunity to use alumni volunteers. The “Friends of” organization cannot just be a conduit of funds from U.S donors to the foreign organization. The “Friends of” organization needs a broader purpose than just channeling funds. It must fund specific projects rather than the foreign organization generally. See http://www.trust.org/contentAsset/raw- data/9ac67b50-b2b2-44bd-8342-bb539bfdcb8d/file, http://www.cof.org/content/how-private-foundation-can-use- friends-organizations, http://www.hurwitassociates.com/l_friends_legal.php, or http://charitylawyerblog.com/2010/11/02/what-is-an-american-%E2%80%9Cfriends-of%E2%80%9D-organization/.

Cultural considerations and potential conflicts. The legal requirement of independence and the need to grant alumni volunteers independence and authority may be difficult for foreign universities not used to a culture of volunteering or independent volunteer associations. The dynamics and challenges of fundraising within the U.S. culture of giving may not be understood by an overseas institution. Understand that money will not just flow in: every charity competes for donations with other charities – and competes for the volunteers’ time and talent. The administrative costs (whether in dollars or donations of time and talent) can be substantial to establish and to maintain the organization. In addition, foreign institutions need to be aware of U.S. political and cultural norms and that university actions affect the willingness of U.S. donors to give. In addition, a “Friends of” organization cannot (as a charity) be involved in lobbying the U.S. government, or participating in U.S. politics. Actions of “Friends of” organizations have constraints, including restrictions on grants that might be perceived as falling under “anti-terrorist” guidelines.

To achieve success, the overseas institution must be committed to support, coordinate efforts with, share information with, provide resources to, and thank volunteers for the “Friends of” organization. Giving notice when university professors or officials are visiting the U.S. is invaluable. Providing speakers from the university can be priceless. Page 26 Addenda

E-mail Sample AYA Reunion Schedules from Spring 2014

45th Reunion of the Yale Class of 1969 10th Reunion of the Yale Class of 2004

Overview The schedules for these two reunions are placed side by side so that they can be compared. Class of 1969 is on the left. Class of 2004 is on the Right. Programming provided by Yale/AYA for all reunion attendees is the same in both columns. Details of common programming are provided after the separate schedules.

Class specific programming is decided by each Class and organized by that Class. Often, younger classes have less free time to travel to a reunion, less free time to volunteer to organize a reunion, and less disposable income to pay for reunion events. Consequently, younger classes may have less elaborate reunions, as in these examples.

Both of these reunions were held on the same weekend, along with reunions for five other Classes. The previous weekend six other Classes held reunions. Classes were grouped, so that families with children would have reunions on the first weekend. There was additional programming for families and children on the first weekend, called Camp Bulldog.

Yale's New Residential Colleges Robert A.M. Stern M.Arch. '65, Dean, Yale School of Architecture, and J.M. Hoppin Professor of Architecture

Yale's system of residential colleges, established in the late 1930s and today the cornerstone of its undergraduate experience, was given physical form by architect James Gamble Rogers (B.A 1889), who designed eight of the first ten to be built. Four of them are red-brick Georgian; the other six, as well as very many other Yale buildings of the period including the Sterling Memorial Library and the Law School, are Gothic buildings of stone and brick, as such contributing to the dominant visual language of the University. Two additional colleges, Stiles and Morse, built in the 1960s to the design of Eero Saarinen (B.Arch. '34), acknowledge Rogers's Gothic but in a Modernist style. Dean Robert A.M. Stern (M.Arch. '65) discusses how his professional practice approached the design of colleges 13 and 14, the first two new residential colleges to be built in over fifty years. Designed as fraternal twins, similar in size and palette but each enjoying its own identity and organization, the new colleges will carry forward the legacy of Gothic Yale.

Elihu Yale: Merchant, Collector and Patron

Benjamin Zucker '62, author and historian

In this talk on the University's founder, Benjamin Zucker will tell how Elihu Yale made his fortune in India, mostly through trading in diamonds. Arriving in Madras in 1672, he rose through the hierarchy of the East India Company from clerk to governor. When he returned from India in 1699 he brought with him Indian gems, furniture, and textiles, establishing a fashionable household in which, by the end, he had assembled a collection of some ten thousand items. Yale's collection was dispersed at seven auction sales after his death in 1721, and the catalogs of those sales survive, providing information about the lively London art market of the period and Yale's role as a Fellow of the Royal Society, a dedicated churchman, and a philanthropist, totally in tune with the English Enlightenment.

The Origins of Irrationality

Laurie Santos, Associate Professor of Psychology

Despite all our impressive achievements as a species, humans often behave in ways that are surprisingly dumb. People regularly make decisions that are blatantly irrational, and systematically lead to less money, worse outcomes, and reduced overall happiness. Over the past few years, Professor Santos has take a new approach to studying human irrationality – exploring where these bad decisions come from in the first place. She will present her recent work on evolutionary origins of human errors, exploring whether the human primate is alone in its bad decisions. She will end by talking about new work from her new Canine Cognition Center at Yale examining whether man's best friend – the domestic dog – also shows human-like biases.

What Solomon Didn’t Know: How to Divide the Pie Barry Nalebuff, Milton Steinbach Professor of Management, School of Management Most of you will spend a good deal of your professional life engaged in negotiations of one form or another. Of course, there will be many negotiations in personal lives, as well. The goal of this session is to change the way you look at negotiations. We will present a rational and principled approach toward negotiations that emphasizes one simple idea: what is the pie? When the parties truly understand what is at stake, it makes it possible to cut through the bluffing and clutter, and reach a principled outcome.

What Does Earth’s Climate History Tell Us About Our Future?

Mark Pagani, Professor of Geology & Geophysics; Director, Yale Climate and Energy Institute Reconstructions of Earth’s climate history reveal strong linkages to the concentration of atmospheric

CO2 and the magnitude of CO2 change. These relationships provide a measure of the sensitivity of Earth’s

climate to CO2forcing, and provide a guide for the magnitude of temperature change we should anticipate for the future. Saturday, May 31, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM William L. Harkness Hall - 100 Wall Street Room: 119

Searching for Other Earths Debra Fischer, Professor of Astronomy

Before 1995, humanity had no evidence that planets existed around other stars. Since that time, astronomers have discovered more than 500 such planets with ground-based telescopes and in February 2011, NASA announced the discovery of 1200 planet candidates from the successful Kepler space mission. These discoveries have ushered in a new era in astronomy and renewed interest in detecting life on other worlds. In this talk, Professor Fischer will explain how our solar system compares to other planetary systems and comment on current thinking about the conditions that were conducive to the start of life on Earth. She will also describe the Yale Exoplanet Search for other habitable environments: rocky worlds orbiting at distances from their host stars where liquid water might pool on the surface.

Emotional Intelligence: From Theory to Everyday Practice Marc Brackett, Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence; Research Scientist in Psychology

Emotions matter. What we do with our emotions is especially important. When perceived accurately and regulated effectively, emotions help us to focus on important tasks, make effective decisions, enjoy healthy relationships, and manage life’s ups and downs. In this presentation, Professor Brackett will describe the theory of emotional intelligence developed at Yale under President Salovey’s direction and share his decades of research on the relationship between emotional intelligence and important life outcomes. He also will discuss “RULER,” the Center’s evidence-based approach to teaching emotional intelligence in school systems, which has been shown to increase academic performance, decrease bullying, and enhance school climates. Finally, he’ll discuss how creating emotionally intelligent communities can help us to build a more happy, healthy, productive, and compassionate society.

Bullying Among Children and Adolescents: Consequences, Contexts, and Challenges

Alan Kazdin, John M. Musser Professor of Psychology & Child Psychiatry

Bullying among children and adolescents is not new, so why is it receiving attention now? Tragic cases of child suicide, parental interests in protecting their children, and findings that show the short- and long-term consequences of bullying on mental and physical health are among the key reasons. Moreover, we have learned that virtually all children in an environment where bullying is ongoing suffer in some way, so no one escapes the bully’s reach. This presentation highlights what we know about bullies, victims, and by-standers and what can be done to reduce bullying. Bullying is placed in broader contexts including findings from animal research, efforts to reduce aggression and harassment more generally, and national and international issues about the rights of children. Changing bullies is quite possible, but the effects will be limited without also attending to broader social influences that promote bullying and other types of violence and harassment.

Liberal Arts in the 21st Century Pericles Lewis, President, Yale-NUS College

The recent founding of Yale-NUS College precipitated for its leadership a re-thinking of the liberal arts curriculum model. Looking to update what has largely been a U.S. approach to incorporate a broader international perspective in an Asian environment, President Lewis and his colleagues spent three years focusing on the crucial elements to answer the question: what must every young person learn in order to lead a responsible life in this century? Having recently completed the College’s inaugural academic year, President Lewis will provide an update on this exciting initiative.

The New African Archeology: Yale's Explorations along the Niger Roderick McIntosh '73, Professor of Anthropology

"One tablespoon of earth excavated along the Niger for every ton along the Nile" – the old chestnut about African archeology rings as true now as sixty years ago. Yet, Yale is doing something about that imbalance. And the cities, crafts, and prehistoric economies coming to light look radically different from our expectations born of Near Eastern excavations. Some have even begun talking about (Yale's) Seventh Original Civilization.

Fiction, Feminism, and the Politics of Gender and Sexuality Margaret Homans '74, '79 PhD, Professor of English and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies

Where do new ideas come from? Feminism over its long history and, more recently, political movements on behalf of nonconforming genders and sexualities (gay, lesbian, queer, transgender) have often been inspired by visions of social change found in works of fiction. Better worlds must be imagined before they can be brought into existence, and throughout the history of these movements, innovative political thinkers have often been creators of fiction, too. In this lecture, Professor Margaret Homans, this year’s winner of the Harwood F. Byrnes/Richard B Sewall Teaching Prize, discusses some of the conversations between fiction and the politics of gender and sexuality that she explores in her courses for English and Women’s Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
