The Yale Club of Alabama's Summer Send-Off Party honors new undergraduate and graduate students.  This is a casual, fun event for alumni to see each other and also visit with current and new students from Alabama.  It's also a great way for our new students to connect with current students, as well as each other, before they begin their first year at Yale.  Parents of new and current students are also invited to attend.    

There is no charge for incoming and current students to attend the event.  We request that alumni and their guests contribute $25 per person to help defray the event costs, which include tapas and drinks.  Please RSVP to Lesli Spice at lspice@battlewinn.com or (205) 397-8160 no later than Wednesday, July 31, 2025, if you plan to attend or have any questions.
