Upcoming Event: “Feb Club Emeritus” on Thurs. Feb. 25
Location:

Rochester, NY Map
Time: Thurs. Feb. 25, 2010 at 7:30 PM
Two years ago, a small group of alums from the 1980’s resurrected an undergraduate tradition of uncertain origin by establishing “Feb Club Emeritus.” The goal of Feb Club Emeritus was to for Yale alums of all generations to get together for informal, casual parties around the country, one party on each night of February.
By its second year, Feb Club Emeritus featured 62 parties on 6 continents around the globe, attended by over 5,000 alums from the Class of 1941 to the Class of 2008. These parties were relaxed, agenda-free affairs – no speeches, no pitches, no set format – just a way for alums of all ages, people with common backgrounds and interests, to enjoy a night of good food, drink and conversation (and, at many of the larger parties, Mory’s Cups).
Feb Club Emeritus now enters its third year, with over 80 cities worldwide hosting a wide variety of casual parties for Yale alums and their guests. So, whether you graduated under FDR, JFK, or GWB, come join your fellow Yalies in the Rochester area.

Upcoming Event: An evening with Professor Robert H. Frank from Cornell, March 15, 2010
Come spend a dynamic evening with Robert H. Frank, economics columnist for The New York Times and Professor of Economics at Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management.
Professor Frank’s latest book, The Economic Naturalist’s Field Guide: Common Sense for Troubled Times, illuminates the intersection between abstract theory and common sense from which satisfying, pragmatic decisions can emerge by virtue of a surprisingly small number of key principles. You’ll be captivated by Bob’s clear but rich way of explaining things like:
- Why was JFK’s “Ask not” appeal so effective?
- Is the estate tax really as bad as Rush Limbaugh thinks?
- Why do Americans save so little?
- Is happiness the only important welfare measure?
