• Educational and travel opportunities
• Communications such as YaleNews and the Yale Alumni Magazine
• Yale University Press offers all Yale alumni an exclusive 25% titles, using the code ALUMNI. (Some exclusions apply, but the discount will auto-apply on all eligible products.)

In addition to these programs, we work with vendors and campus partners to create special access and offers for you. Please take advantage of these perks of being part of the Yale alumni family!

We encourage alumni to visit campus any time throughout the year. Check out Visit Campus for campus event calendars, access information, and recommendations on eating and staying in New Haven.
