To achieve our mission, STAY maintains multiple platforms and programming to bring students and alumni together. Through well over events since our founding, we’ve engaged thousands of Yale College students, grad/professional (G&P) students, and alums. Our platforms and proramming include:
- Alumni Leaders: Monthly meetings with Yale’s alumni leaders.
- STAY Alumni Teas: Gatherings, each led by an alum with a story.
- Student Leadership Forums: Alum-led deep-dives on leadership. Open to all Yale Students
- Financial Life After Yale: Personal finance chats led by alums.
- Careers, Life, and Yale: Weekly alumni career-and-life Zoom wisdom.
- Peer school insights: Road trips: what other schools do with alums. We’ve visited (or hosted) schools like the US Naval Academy, Vassar, and Princeton in recent years.
- Yale Public Service Awards: Our service awards for students and alums.
- Networking & Mentoring: Early access to > 1,000 potential mentors.
Our central purpose, previously-lacking at Yale and Yale’s peers, sets us apart: our unique venues for unleashing student-alumni time and talent from three Yale communities (undergrads, g&p students, and alumni/ae) as a way to form long-lasting, meaningful relationships. Our mission takes us far beyond New Haven. We aim to change lives–those of Yale students and alumni/ae, and those in places beyond Yale’s day-to-day reach.
