The tour will strip away the city of today to reveal the original landscape features and now-vanished buildings that stood along its streets in centuries past. You will see where Captain John Smith explored, the Continental Congress met, Francis Scott Key composed The Star-Spangled Banner, mobs rioted, Abraham Lincoln evaded assassins, German agents plotted acts of sabotage during the First World War, Thurgood Marshall practiced law, and George Washington, John Adams, the Marquis de Lafayette, Charles Dickens, and Woodrow Wilson slept! The tour will also include notes on downtown architecture and will point out filming locations from various movies and television series. The meeting point will be the colorful and abstract Jules Sugarman sculpture on the grounds of Baltimore’s Federal Courthouse at 101 W. Lombard Street, at the corner of Lombard and Hanover – one block north of the Convention Center. Parking is available at many garages nearby, including that for the Baltimore Arena and the Down Under garage on Lombard Street, which is directly across from the meeting place. The tour covers a rectangular section of downtown or rioughly 4 blocks by two blocks between Lombard Street on the south, Lexington Street on the north, Hopkins Place on the west, and South Street on the east. Tour guide Jefferson Gray (1978, History) practiced law in downtown Baltimore for over 30 years and also serves as the President of the Board of Trustees of the U.S. District Court’s Historical Society. He has designed exhibits and published articles and book reviews on various historical topics and was recently interviewed by both WYPR radio and the Baltimore Banner about Baltimore’s history during the American Revolution.

      Join us for golf at the magnificent Yale Golf Course for YaleBoston’s annual President’s Cup Golf Tournament. The course recently reopened following a two-year, $17 million restoration by renowned golf course architect Gil Hanse. The course has been meticulously returned to its original character and is once again in exceptional condition. Long recognized among the world's finest golf courses, Yale has earned a place on numerous "Top 100 Courses in the World" rankings.

      The greens fee is $200 for YaleBoston dues-paying members and $225 for non-members and includes a golf cart, range balls, and full access to the practice facilities. While lunch is not included, it is available at the turn and “to go” at Widdy’s in the clubhouse. To avoid delays, participants are encouraged to place their orders in advance or arrive early.

      The coveted President's Cup will be awarded to the low-net team, with additional prizes presented in a variety of categories. The format is Best Ball, which is based on each player’s handicap. The team score recorded on each hole will be determined by the golfer who has the lowest net on the hole.

      The Yale Golf Course is conveniently located approximately two hours from the intersection of the Massachusetts Turnpike and Routes 128/95, making it an ideal destination for a memorable day of competition and camaraderie.

      The first tee time begins at 12:00 p.m., and participation is limited to five foursomes. Early registration is encouraged, as the field is expected to fill quickly.

    • GLC@Lunch: “An American Slave Breeder in London: American Slavery, British Abolition, and Enslaved Reproduction”

      Add to Calendar 2026-10-14T12:00:00 2026-10-14T13:15:00 America/New_York GLC@Lunch: “An American Slave Breeder in London: American Slavery, British Abolition, and Enslaved Reproduction” Wednesday, October 14, 2026, 12:00pm—1:15pm | Hybrid In person at Yale University, Rosenkranz Hall, Room 241, 115 Prospect Street, New Haven Online via zoom Note: In-person seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Bring your lunch and join us for a discussion of scholarly works-in-progress! Emily Lampert (GLC Associate Research Scholar, Fall 2026; Assistant Professor of History, University of Houston-Downtown) “An American Slave Breeder in London: American Slavery, British Abolition, and Enslaved Reproduction” In August 1838, at a rally celebrating the end of the apprenticeship system in the British Caribbean, the famous—or infamous, depending on your leaning—MP and antislavery activist Daniel O’Connell informed the crowd that while this was a great accomplishment, there was still significant work to do. Turning his attention to the continued existence of slavery in the United States, O’Connell publicly accused Andrew Stevenson, a Virginian and the US ambassador in London, of being not only a slaveowner but a slave-breeder as well, “one of those beings who reared up slaves for the purpose of traffic.” What followed was a months-long, international public scandal that unfolded in newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic. The O’Connell-Stevenson affair has been largely glossed over in histories of transatlantic abolition. I argue, however, that O’Connell’s baiting remarks at the 1838 rally, and the scandalous possibility of an American slave-breeder in London, marked the climax of a much longer narrative concerning enslaved reproduction, British abolition, and Virginia.

    • Yale Club of DC AI Masterclass Series | Working with AI as an Individual and a Business: The New Rules of Advantage

      Online
      Add to Calendar 2026-10-14T12:00:00 2026-10-14T13:00:00 America/New_York Yale Club of DC AI Masterclass Series | Working with AI as an Individual and a Business: The New Rules of Advantage The Yale Club of Washington, DC welcomes alumni to an AI Masterclass Series featuring Aditya Nair, a Yale alum and a global expert on applied AI in regulated industries. Aditya runs an AI engineering firm, which builds production AI systems for enterprise clients, and is a fractional leader to professional services firms rebuilding their operating model for the AI era. He’s built AI strategy and systems for Fortune 500 companies, sovereign wealth funds, government agencies and AI-native startups. AI is a full systems problem. Trying to tackle it in parts is the mistake that hampers its effectiveness. Aditya works with boards and executives on where AI moves the shape of a firm, builds the production systems that carry the change through, and designs curriculum to raise the skill of the people who must work with these systems. The organizations that get AI right treat it as infrastructure for how the work gets done. The ones that struggle treat it as a productivity tool bolted onto existing roles. This Masterclass is a two-part series. In part one, we focus on making you an AI-native operator. In part two, we turn your firm into an AI-native entity. AI Masterclass 2: THE NEW RULES OF ADVANTAGE Knowledge work rewarded planning because mistakes were expensive. You thought hard before you built, because building the wrong thing cost you a couple of quarters and a lot of your allocated budget, so the efficient move was to argue it out on paper first. That has inverted. The startup version of the story is well covered. AI-native startups now reach $100 Mn in ARR fast than ever before and with fewer employees. The harder question is what it does to a company with 4,000 people, a five-year plan, and a tried and tested business model do? The short answer that firms haven't as yet intuited is that the cost structure has changed. Where you point your best people changes, because pushing the frontiers of innovation may be more valuable than enabling the core of the business. What investment bets do you make changes, because you can afford to be wrong more often. And the market you walked away from years ago, the one that wanted what you sell and couldn't pay what you charge, maybe worth repricing. In this webinar, we look at reimagining the operations of a firm from the lens of abundant intelligence. false

    • Yale Divinity School | From Mission to Momentum: Strategic Planning for Faith Communities with the Rev. Jean-Fritz Guerrier

      Add to Calendar 2026-10-14T12:00:00 2026-10-14T13:30:00 America/New_York Yale Divinity School | From Mission to Momentum: Strategic Planning for Faith Communities with the Rev. Jean-Fritz Guerrier We invite clergy, lay leaders, scholars, and nonprofit practitioners into a rigorous yet highly practical exploration of how religious organizations can move from worthy aspirations to measurable, sustainable impact. At a moment marked by declining participation, demographic shifts, financial strain, volunteer fatigue, and rapidly changing community expectations, strategic planning is no longer an administrative luxury. It is an essential act of stewardship. Drawing on real-world congregational experience, organizational research, and proven planning disciplines, this interactive webinar will help participants distinguish strategic leadership from routine operations; assess institutional strengths, assets, stakeholders, and emerging needs; translate mission into priorities; and connect resources, inputs, outputs, outcomes, and indicators in a way that strengthens accountability without diminishing spiritual purpose. Through compelling examples, original planning concepts, thoughtful humor, and collaborative small-group exercises, participants will leave with concrete tools they can immediately adapt to congregations and faith-based organizations of different sizes, traditions, and governing structures, and with a clearer understanding of how institutions can honor their history without becoming captive to it. false
