Sample AYA Reunion Schedules from Spring 2014

40th Reunion of the Yale Class of 1974 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 1974 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.

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.

The combination of few jobs for college graduates during the recent recession and the airing of "The Social Network" has energized the youth of America to make their own way as entrepreneurs; but nowhere more so than here at Yale, where we have seen a surge of interest in starting one's own venture over the past five years. Join Wes Bray '74, Lead Venture Mentor at the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute as he moderates a discussion between 1974 "seasoned" entrepreneurs and several student ventures enrolled in the Entrepreneurial Institute's elite Summer Fellowship accelerator.

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 (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 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.

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.

Page 15 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.
