Quarantine Special: Tune into “Virtual Events” at Yale
Do you ever recall looking at the weekly “Yale Bulletin and Calendar” while we were students? It was a 6- or 8-page newsprint tabloid that listed ALL the events at Yale, e.g.,
- political figures speaking in a Common Room,
- a visiting prof giving a presentation on some research finding,
- a concert,
- something at the Med school that I couldn’t understand,
- a poetry reading in JE,
- a demonstration of the carillon,
- a guided tour of some hidden-away fossils at the Peabody
- a field trip to the “Yale Woods” in Wallingford (whatever they were)
- .. and on and on and on.
The incredible richness of the place! The intellectual smörgåsbord! The excitement of all that possibility … maybe it’d be something of real interest! But then followed the sad realization that coursework and the other demands of student life limited you to one or two such samplings in a week where at least of dozen were of interest.
Do you remember that?
Well, good news. As Yale moves more and more online (accelerated by COVID now), more and more of those delicious offerings are now available to you via livestream or video meeting (webinar or conference). And YOU, as an alumnus, are allow to “audit” many (but not all) of them.
