Yale Alumni leave permanent reminder of visit

ANU students and Yale students will have a new opportunity to experience life on the other side of the world, thanks to an initiative announced at the conclusion of a week-long visit to ANU by a large group of Yale alumni.

A new ANU-Yale student fund will enable an ANU student to undertake study at Yale and vice versa. The ANU student scholarship will be funded by the Year of ‘49 Class at Yale. The fund will build on the already rich relationship and exchange between ANU and Yale, both members of the International Alliance of Research Universities. Interested students should stay tuned for further details in coming editions of On Campus.

The announcement came at the conclusion of a week-long visit by a group of 31 Yale alumni and their families for an ANU program that included seminars, lectures, tours and social events.

The group was hosted by ANU alumni and staff, with a number will be staying in the homes of ANU alumni.

The group took part in seminars by leading ANU academics, visits to national institutions – including a tour of Parliament House with Senator Kate Lundy, dinner with Justice Michael Kirby, a business lunch, an indigenous program, reception at the US Embassy (Ambassador Robert McCallum is a Yale alumnus) and a number of social events.
