Subject: YALE CLUB: Dean Salovey Dinner, Shades, Photos
Dear Yalies,
Following our sellout dinner Monday night for Yoriko
Kawaguchi, the Prime Minister's foreign affairs advisor, we will
be
hosting on Wednesday night March 16 a buffet
dinner with Dean Salovey.
Here is a great way to catch up with Yale today, ask questions of a
man who is a student of Japan and one of Yale's most popular
professors.
Also, as spring unfolds in Tokyo, we have a week of
concerts by the first Yale singing group of the season, Shades.
Shades
will be singing at the dinner with Dean Salovey next
Wednesday as well
as at Fujimamas tomorrow (March 10)
I hope you can join us and catch up with friends at
one of these events. See the details -- and a Tokyo internship
appeal
by a Yale student below..
Photos from the dinner with Yoriko
Kawaguchi as well
as other past events (including one from May 1961) are at
the Photos
section of the Yale Club website at

Cheerio,
Jim Brooke
President of the Yale Club of Japan

Dinner with Professor
Peter Salovey, Dean of Yale College
 Professor
Peter Salovey, Dean of Yale College, will be our guest of honor at
this evening of dinner, talk and questions at the Foreign
Correspondents' Club of Japan, strategically located downtown
for intercepting the maximum number of members coming off work. The cash
bar at the "Yale Room" will open at 6:00 p.m.
Shades will also perform as part of this evening. Shades, the Ivy
League's first a cappella group founded to sing black music, will
also perform during dinner.
Peter Salovey, Dean of Yale
College, is the Chris Argyris Professor of Psychology. He was the
Chair of the Department of Psychology from 2000-2003 and Dean of
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale University from
2003-2004. Dr. Salovey is also Professor of Epidemiology and Public
Health. He directs the Health, Emotion and Behavior Laboratory
and is deputy director of the Yale Center for Interdisciplinary
Research on AIDS. He also has affiliations with the Yale Cancer Center
and the Institution for Social and Policy Studies.
Professor Salovey received an A.B.
in Psychology and a co-terminal M.A. in Sociology from Stanford
University in 1980. He holds three Yale degrees in psychology: an
M.S. (1983), M.Phil. (1984), and Ph.D. (1986). Salovey was President of
the Graduate and Professional Student Senate at Yale in 1983-84. He joined
the Yale faculty as an assistant professor in 1986 and has been a full
professor since 1995.
Salovey's research has
focused on the psychological significance and function of human moods and
emotions, and the application of social psychological principles to
motivate people to adopt behaviors that protect their health. His
recent work concerns the ways in which emotions facilitate adaptive
cognitive and behavioral functioning. With John D. Mayer, he developed a
broad framework, coined "emotional intelligence," to describe how
people understand, manage and use their emotions. His recent work on
health behavior has included field experiments evaluating how educational
and public health messages can best be tailored to promote prevention and
early detection behaviors relevant to cancer and HIV/AIDS.
Salovey has published about
200 articles and chapters, and he has authored, coauthored, or edited
11 books. He edits the Guilford Press series Emotions and
Social Behavior, and he has served as Editor or Associate Editor for three
scientific journals: Psychological Bulletin, Review of
General Psychology, and Emotion.
Salovey, who has taught the
Introductory Psychology course since his first days on the faculty,
was awarded the William Clyde DeVane Medal for Distinguished
Scholarship and Teaching in Yale College in 2000 and the Lex Hixon Prize
for Teaching in the Social Sciences at Yale in 2002. In his leisure time,
Salovey plays stand-up bass with The Professors of Bluegrass.

Kon-nichiwa,
My name is Samuel Chua, and I am presently a freshman at Yale College
(Class of '08). I visited Japan (I have a few friends studying at To-dai)
for a five-day period last December, during winter break, and fell in love
with the place and the culture. As such, I was interested in possibly
spending a summer there, perhaps doing an internship or a cultural
immersion program. I had an appointment with UCS, and they referred me to
the Japan Club.
I would really like to know if there is anyone in particular whom I can
contact for more information. I am interested in the areas of marketing,
advertising, and administration. I presently know very little Japanese
(but am picking some up on my own, and plan to take the language next
semester), but am eager to learn and have good communication skills. Being
originally from Malaysia (where I spent most of my life), I love visiting
new places and having to adapt to different ways of life � as such, I am
very open to trying new endeavors and have a passion for living.
I am sorry if this e-mail has been sent to all the members in the club, as
I did not know who to contact from the website. Sumi masen. If someone
would be so kind as to help me with this, I would most appreciate it.
Douzo yoroshiku.
Arigatoo gozaimasu, and I do hope to hear from you soon!
I wish you well,
Samuel Chua
Yale College, Class of '08
