  Get inspired with back to back lightning talks by fellow ‘09ers as they share a meaningful story, a powerful life insight, or hard-earned nugget of wisdom from the last ten years. This is a chance for classmates to share vulnerably and powerfully - not a forum to toot horns or #humblebrag.

• Our Yale Experience: The Present

  Jun 1

  2:00PM – 3:00PM

  Whitney Humanities Center — 53 Wall Street

  As you consider your life today, are your expectations that you developed at Yale fulfilled? Deferred? Unlikely to be realized? No matter which, are you content with your life or are you still on the search?  Walker Percy in The Moviegoer wrote: “Not be on the search is to be in despair.” Do you agree with that statement?

• 1969 | Life: The Final Exam

  Jun 1

  3:00PM – 4:00PM

  Sprague Hall : Concert Hall

  In prior reunions, our classmates have vigorously participated in sessions hosted by Lang Wheeler and Dan Seiver which have encouraged self-examination with regard to issues that affected many of us at those times. It wouldn't be a Class of '69 reunion without "Life: The Final Exam." At our 40th and 45th reunions, this session has been well-attended and led many of us both to hearing new ideas and experiences that are not well-known to us and at the same time to be motivated and enabled by those ideas. This is a program for optimists: statistics tell us that having reached the place where we are today, there is a demonstrated likelihood that many of us will continue to enjoy life's gifts as well as its difficulties for at least another decade. This discussion will lead us to consider the possibilities and to share our views.
