Ambassadors for Yale: The AYA Strategic Plan
Traditional Strengths + New Vision = The New AYAWe are committed to strengthening the successful traditional activities of the AYA, most importantly reunions and the numerous class and club events. We will be more ambitious in serving all of Yale's alumni -- graduates of Yale College and those from the graduate and professional schools. We are committed to supporting the growing ways Yale graduates want to affiliate. A major focus for the AYA's work will be shared interest/shared identity groups (whether women, blacks, singers, entrepreneurs, etc.). We recognize that the interests of new graduates, those with young families, and retirees are simply different. Among other age-tailored programs, we will create stronger institutional ties with young alumni. We will redouble efforts to give new meaning to lifelong learning. We will expand educational opportunities and increasingly take advantage of new media channels to bring Yale teaching to you. Nearly half of Yale alumni live in just seven metropolitan areas. We will increase support to clubs in major cities, even as we explore how better to support all alumni, including our international graduates and affiliates. We will develop new programs and services of value to alumni. Community service sponsored by Yale groups is just one of the ideas we heard -- and have embraced. We will offer you new opportunities to serve Yale. Volunteer talent makes incredible contributions to Yale, but the "human capital" of the alumni body has only begun to be tapped. The AYA will sponsor projects you find appealing that link to important University goals. We will give better support to our volunteer leaders by providing them with more staff assistance at the AYA and by investing in online services and new technological tools to make service easier. |
