President Richard C. Levin spent spring break on the road visiting with alumni.

Levin traveled to Denver on March 12 to meet with members of the Colorado Yale Association and to Los Angeles on March 13 to meet with the Yale Club of Southern California.

All told, Levin is visiting with nine alumni organizations in the spring semester. He has already met with members of the Westchester Alumni Association in New York on Jan. 23, the Yale Club of Georgia in Atlanta on Feb. 14 and the Yale Club of the Palm Beaches in Florida on Feb. 21.

Coming up on the President's itinerary are visits with the Yale Alumni Association of Greenwich, Connecticut, on April 5 and the Yale Club of Washington, D.C. on April 22.

In keeping with Yale's goal of becoming a thoroughly global institution of higher education, Levin will also travel to Mexico on May 13 to meet with alumni groups there.
