OUR Andrew Yang (Class of ’69 Scholar!)
Class of ’69 Scholarship
Cynthia Mariani of Yale Development Office reported to us on Andrew Yang, the current recipient of the Class of 1969 Memorial Scholarship Fund. Andrew, a first-year student, says “I am excited to meet people who are passionate for learning and making the world a better place.”
Did you know that the Class of ’69 actually has a scholarship fund? It’s got a half-million dollars in it (see the report below), and it’s a worthy place for you to make contributions that support the “need-blind admissions” policy. See background on the Fund here.
If you want to learn more or contribute to the Fund, you can contact Don Galligan ’69 at djgalligan@msn.com, or use one of these handy-dandy methods:

We need scientists, doctors, teachers, and policymakers who bring optimism and imagination to their quest for solutions; we need artists and humanists to bring us together and illuminate our shared experiences.
