Yale President Richard Levin comes to Boston

In these continuing turbulent times, we are very happy to welcome once again our leader for more than sixteen years, President Rick Levin. He will give us a State of the University update which will combine prudence for the times with optimism for the future. We're holding this event in the spectacularly renovated John Adams Courthouse ($117m - four years) at Government Center. There will be catered hors d'oeuvres and an open bar for a reception from 6:00 to 6:45, at which time we will repair to another space for President Levin's remarks. Security will be strict, so to minimize inconvenience, please carry as few non-essentials as possible. As one of the largest and most supportive Yale communities in the world, let's show our President how much we in Boston value Yale and his extraordinary leadership.

Yale Day of Service

Last year was the first ever global Yale Day of Service. Here in Massachusetts, we had great participation at over 20 different sites. Plans are underway to make this year even better and we could use your help.

Our activities served people in need, brought Yalies together, and helped improve our communities. Last year’s efforts by Boston volunteers has evolved into ongoing community service activities at both Excel Academy in East Boston and the Haley School in Roslindale.What a difference a day makes!

Here’s how you can help right now

  • Identify an organization or site that you think we should work with
  • Volunteer to organize one activity (most are 3-5 hour projects)
  • Offer to be the on-site person on the day of service
  • Help with ideas and general organization
Please participate by RSVP'ing to us with your ideas.

Thank you!
