Alumni from across the country will return to campus on Thursday, June 5, to attend a two-day seminar with some of Yale's most popular faculty.
Called "Lectures and Conversations with Yale's Great Teachers," the program will feature six professors giving talks on everything from emotional intelligence to contemporary Chinese family life. The program is sponsored by the Association of Yale Alumni, AYA.
In addition to the lectures, there will be in-depth, afternoon discussion sessions with each professor; registrants may select discussions with four of the six participating faculty.
This year's lecturers are: Deborah Davis, professor and chair of sociology; David Gelernter, professor of computer science; Paul Kennedy, the J. Richardson Dilworth Professor of History; Annabel Patterson, the Karl Young Professor of English; Peter Salovey, professor of psychology and of epidemiology and public health; and Robert Farris Thompson, the Colonel John Trumbull Professor of the History of Art and master of Timothy Dwight College.
A complete schedule is available at Rose Alumni House, 232 York St. The cost of the two-day program is $250 per person. Campus or hotel accommodations are available at an extra charge. The lectures will be open without charge to alumni taking part in the second AYA reunion weekend.
Yale faculty, staff and students may attend the lectures only for a registration fee of $25.
Anyone interested in registering for the program should call Joan Kneeland at 432-1952.
