Coming to a Location Near You
You don’t have to be in New Haven to see, hear, and learn from some of the university’s finest academic minds. Thanks to the YAA-Redpath Speakers Program, we are very fortunate to have Yale faculty who travel the globe to speak to alumni at regional Yale club events and seminars, bringing educational programs and opportunities to a town near you. These events vary in focus and topic, but all are geared toward alumni audiences.
This program is supported by the Redpath Fund, in memory of Robert Redpath Jr. ’28.

About the Redpath Fund
The Redpath Fund is an endowment established in honor or Robert U. Redpath Jr. '28. Mr. Redpath was a great advocate for lifelong learning, believing that Commencement should be viewed as the beginning of one's ongoing education. With that spirit in mind, the Redpath Fund extends Yale's ability to bring educational programs to Yale graduates across the country.
Mr. Redpath joined the Yale Club of Central New Jersey in 1930, serving as chairman of the club's Alumni Schools Committee for more than three decades. In this capacity, he led hundreds of applicants through the process of applying to Yale. In addition, he served as president of the Yale Club of Central New Jersey and for 42 years was secretary of the Yale College Class of 1928. He was awarded the Yale Medal in 1968, the highest honor bestowed for service to Yale.
