Frequently Asked Questions

Yale Explores events bring together the Yale community for an evening of connection and interdisciplinary exploration of challenges facing our world. At each event, members of the Yale faculty discuss a pressing topic from a variety of perspectives, and President Peter Salovey highlights Yale’s vital role in these crucial conversations. Lively receptions before and after the presentation provide opportunities for networking, conversation, and engagement with fellow Yalies.

Yale Explores events are open to all Yale alumni, parents, and friends.

The registration fee for a Yale Explores event is $25 per person or $15 for Bulldogs of the Last Decade (BOLD) alumni (classes of 2010-2019).
