The Yale Connection

Last fall the Yale Club of Chicago introduced a new after-work networking and social event in the Yale tradition-- The Yale Connection. Built on the format of the popular Dutch Luncheon series, this new series features informal talks by Yale alumni and affiliates on a wide variety of topics, including law, business, music and the arts, medicine, politics, philanthropy, and many more.

The Yale Connection meets on the third Thursday of each month from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at Petterino's, 50 West Randolph Street, in a private room on the lower level (www.petterinos.com). Valet parking is available on Dearborn Street. Cost is $20 for a menu of heavy hors d'oeuvres; cash bar. Guests and friends are most welcome. No RSVP needed.

Upcoming speakers for Spring 2009 include

  • March 26: Phil Moriarty, President and founder of Moriarty/Fox, Inc., and Ted Jones, Executive Coach with Kensington International, will discuss "Changing Jobs or Managing Your Career In Challenging Times." Additional details can be found on our Events page.
  • April 23: Catherine Brekus, Associate Professor of the History of Christianity at the University of Chicago
  • May 21: David Marshall, Senior Vice President in the Financial Markets Group at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago

Come join your fellow alums for camaraderie and an interesting talk and discussion!
