      Add to Calendar 2026-04-17T17:00:00 2026-04-17T17:00:00 America/New_York The Dwight H. Terry Lectureship 2026 presents Africanjujuism: Notes from the Termite Mound | Worlds of Spirit and Transformation

      Africanjujuism is a subcategory of fantasy that respectfully acknowledges the seamless blending of existing African spiritualities and cosmologies with the imaginative. “Africanjujuism: Notes from the Termite Mound” will ground Africanjujuism in lived experience and highlight it as a storytelling practice. Through personal history, masquerades, and narrative craft, the series will show how Africanjujuism dances with African cosmologies as living systems while simultaneously playing with metaphor and fantasy. It will examine how naming, culture, history, memory, secrecy, and imagination converge to expand reality, resist erasure, and build and restore stories. 

       

      Friday, April 17 at 5:00 p.m. – Worlds of Spirit and Transformation

      Location for all: Kline 14, 14th floor, Kline Tower, 219 Prospect Street, New Haven

    • Cincinnati Yale Club 162nd Annual Meeting & Dinner

      Apr 17
      6:00PM – 9:00PM ET
      Cincinnati, OH
      Add to Calendar 2026-04-17T18:00:00 2026-04-17T21:00:00 America/New_York Cincinnati Yale Club 162nd Annual Meeting & Dinner Speaker: José García-León is the Henry and Lucy Moses Dean of Music at Yale University. A native of Seville, Spain, García-León graduated with highest honors from that city’s Conservatorio Superior de Música. Coming to the United States as a scholarship student, García-León earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the State University of New York at Binghamton and his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Manhattan School of Music. His career on stage, launched with a prize-winning performance at the Artist International Competition in New York, has included concerts at such celebrated institutions as Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and the St. Petersburg International Music Festival. Prior to coming to Yale as dean of the Yale School of Music in September 2023, García-León served as dean of academic affairs and assessment at The Juilliard School. During his time at Juilliard, García-León was instrumental in creating and developing new degree programs, forging collaborations with peer institutions, and, in 2021, opening the Tianjin Juilliard School in China. García-León will speak on “Music and the Brain.” This presentation provides an overview of the multifaceted effects of music on the brain, exploring its influence on cognitive functions, emotional states, and neurological health. The lecture examines how various genres and tempos of music activate different neural pathways, impacting areas responsible for memory, emotion, and motor control. Key topics include the "Mozart effect," where music from the Classical period enhances spatial-temporal reasoning, as well as more direct examples of how upbeat music can boost mood and productivity, while slower music can aid with relaxation or alleviate stress. He’ll also discuss the impact of musical training on children's cognitive development and the evolutionary role of music in human social bonding. Emphasizing personal musical preferences and individual differences in brain responses, this presentation underscores the profound and varied benefits of integrating music into daily life for cognitive and emotional well-being. Cost: There is a $65 charge for this event ($55 for recent alumni). The Cincinnati Yale Club is a 501(c)(3) organization, and sponsorships are tax-deductible and encouraged. Same goes for your annual dues! Dues and sponsorships are our primary funding source for the Cincinnati Yale Club's programming. Cincinnati, OH — 401 East Fourth Street false

Professor Jay Gitlin ’71 explores the intertwined histories of Yale University and American culture from the eighteenth century through the twentieth, drawing on his acclaimed Yale seminar Yale and America. The lecture blends intellectual history, institutional biography, cultural analysis, and personal reflection, offering compelling context for alumni of all backgrounds. The lecture explores Yale’s history and cultural influence through several interwoven themes, including Elihu Yale and the University’s eighteenth-century origins in global trade and intellectual exchange; the intellectual and social lives of women at Yale prior to formal coeducation, with particular attention to figures such as Olivia Day and the Gallinippers; the roles of Henry Luce and Juan Trippe in shaping modern media, aviation, and the global information society (often described to students as “Yale Mad Men, Pan Am, and the Information Society”); and the contrasting visions of Yale embodied by William F. Buckley Jr., William Sloane Coffin, and Jean-Paul Sartre in debates over freedom, responsibility, and culture. Professor Gitlin also offers brief personal reflections from his junior year at Yale, including memories of the May Day protests and the transition to coeducation, along with a light touch of Yale lore via an anecdote involving Obadiah Nimblechops of the Yale Hexahedron Society. Prof. Gitlin will also speak on the French presence in the Upper Mississippi Valley, drawing on his book The Bourgeois Frontier: French Towns, French Traders, and American Expansion (Yale University Press), which situates Iowa and Nebraska within a broader continental history. Following the Q&A, Professor Gitlin and his wife, Ginny Bales, are pleased to offer a lighthearted musical coda: student-written parody lyrics set to Cole Porter tunes, reflecting Yale student life across generations. A reception of light refreshments and snacks will follow and all are welcome to stay and enjoy our Yale community. West Des Moines, IA — 720 Grand Avenue true

We will meet at Red Cross HQ in Cleveland, where there is ample parking at 3747 Euclid Ave. just east of downtown between E. 36th and E. 40th Streets next to the children's museum, for brief training at 9 am and then form into teams of 2-3 using one person's private vehicle to keep appointments assigned to us until about 2 pm, when we will return to Red Cross HQ with our leftover supplies, record-keeping materials, etc. In addition to registering via Yale Day of Service here, please register with the Red Cross at this link: https://volunteerconnection.redcross.org/?nd=vms_registration_event_detail®istration_id=21796393&return_jid=109769694 You will also be asked to create a Red Cross volunteer profile if you do not already have one. Given the lives lost annually to fires in Cleveland homes that lack working smoke detectors or adequate fire-escape plans, this is a project where you can truly feel afterward that you spent a half day saving lives.
