NEW HAVEN >> Yale University will launch its new school of management next month with a high-profile weekend of all-star CEOs and local luminaries.
Honchos from PepsiCo and Time Warner will be on hand for the official opening of Edward P. Evans Hall on Jan. 9, as will Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post, former Federal Reserve chairman Paul A. Volcker and Robert Rubin, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations.
They’ll be joined by Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller, Yale President Emeritus Richard C. Levin and Yale President Peter Salovey.
The three-day conference will start with an introduction to the new building. Designed by the architectural firm Foster + Partners, the 242,000-square-foot building sits on a 4.25-acre plot on Whitney Avenue. It is named for Edward P. Evans, a Yale graduate and former chairman and CEO of the Macmillan publishing house, who contributed $50 million to the project. Evans died Dec. 31, 2010, less than two weeks after the announcement of the gift.
