Below are some of the reasons that alumni maintain or renew their involvement with Yale. Which one (or several) speak loudest to you?
- I feel a personal or professional connection to Yale as an academic institution.
- I’m interested in shaping the activities of the alumni body.
- I want to support the university and its efforts to maintain excellence in multiple areas.
- I want to connect with current Yale students.
- I want to connect with fellow Yale alumni.
- I have skills I’d like to share with a good cause.
- I feel inspired to give back to my community.
- I’m looking for a community that shares a particular interest or identity with me.
There are roles, activities, and programs available for almost any skill set imaginable.
- I’m interested in collaborating with other alums to plan events, lectures, or programs.
- I’d like to lend a particular skill or expertise to a Yale group, such as professional advice, event planning, or communications.
- I feel excited to interact with current and/or recent graduates in a mentorship role.
- I want to help tell Yale’s story through online and digital outlets including social media, email, and newsletters.
- I am interested in recruiting volunteers for service, fundraising, and/or event support.
- I wish to bring Yale to my local community through service-related volunteerism.
The Yale alumni body is growing increasingly diverse. If you’re looking for a community, you’re almost certainly not alone. I would like to connect with…
- Members from my Yale College class
- Fellow alumni in my geographic region, state, or city
- Members from my graduate or professional program
- Alumni from my residential college
- Alumni who share a specific interest or identity of mine
- Current Yale students
- Alumni from my professional field
- Recent Yale graduates
- Prospective Yale students
- Yale parents
Location, location, location! Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you’re doing or who you’re with … the folks in your own backyard (or digital space) are it.
- I can participate in conference calls, by email, or webinar.
- I can meet in person in my local region.
- I can travel to New Haven for in-person meetings and events.
