Association of Yale Alumni

Over the past two years, the Yale Alumni Association has worked with volunteer partners to listen closely to alumni across our community. Throughout the process, feedback indicated that alumni want Yale to be part of their lives in four areas of interest: service, lifelong learning, social connection, and professional development and mentoring. These four points represent the strategic direction of this plan.

The Yale Alumni Association is excited to welcome Arikha Moses ’98 PhD, as the next alumni Chair of one of its signature annual programs, Yale Day of Service. Arikha is a recent member of the YAA Board of Governors and a longtime volunteer leader with both Yale Day of Service and the Yale Alumni Service Corps (YASC).

As Yale marked its 325th birthday on October 9, 2026, members of Yale’s faculty, staff, alumni, and student communities returned to Saybrook Point to celebrate at a special place: the first official home of the “Collegiate School,” Yale College's original name.

Yale alumni, students, faculty, staff, and affiliates recently gathered in New York City for the In Trust: Building and Inspiring What Lasts social impact conference, organized and hosted by the Yale Alumni Nonprofit Alliance (YANA). The conference consisted of individual presentations, peer exchange meetups, workshops, a vendor exhibition, and panel sessions and discussions.
