Reunion: YAA Lectures and Tours

Reunion: YAA Lectures and Tours

ByWayne Willis

[DRAFT] At every reunion, the YAA arranges Lectures, Tours and Receptions for all the Classes. Here is a list of of those events. I double-dare you to limit yourself to only four; most people want to clone themselves and attend several.

Some of our ’69ers said they were deeply impressed by events they attended. If so, please leave comments at the bottom of this or any post or send reactions, pix, reviews, links, etc., to support@Yale1969.org.
See “Also On Campus” for listings of athletic/exercise opportunities, exhibitions, receptions, special events, self-guided tours, religious services, open houses, etc.

Note: Even though classes were not in session, the YAA ensured that many of the University’s facilities were open and welcoming to our classmates.  In case you had forgotten all the incredible resources available to students, just consider the following list of special events, receptions, self-guided tours, athletic/exercise opportunities, religious services, meetups, open houses, exhibits, and just walking around (including access to the colleges).
