The mission of the Yale Alumni Association (YAA) is “to enhance and renew the lifelong Yale experience for all alumni, whoever they are and wherever they may be.” The YAA fosters connections among alumni and engagement with the university. It also works to support the university’s excellence by providing alumni with opportunities to learn about the histories and experiences of members of the Yale community, including underrepresented groups, through discussions based on readings and podcasts, the sharing of personal stories with faculty members and university leaders, and other events.
