“Beyond our beautiful courtyards is another part of what makes Yale a special place … the city of New Haven,” said Yale President Peter Salovey ’86 Ph.D. in his Inaugural Address on Oct. 13. Yale’s hometown will be the focus of the annual assembly of the Association of Yale Alumni (AYA) Nov. 21-23.
Titled “New Haven at 375, Celebrating a Remarkable City,” the AYA Assembly LXXIII will bring together more than 500 alumni delegates and guests for a program of lectures, tours, and conversations with campus and civic leaders.
The assembly comes amidst New Haven’s ongoing renaissance and at a time of robust connections among “town and gown.” It also occurs as the university and city both mark leadership transitions: Salovey took office on July 1 and New Haven’s newly elected mayor, Toni N. Harp ’78 M.Env.D., will take office on Jan. 1, 2014.
