We at the Yale Alumni Association are excited to host Cross Campus, Yale’s rapidly growing 18,000-plus member online community for networking, advice, and mentoring.
Cross Campus facilitates relationships across all of Yale, connecting alumni with students and alumni with alumni. That’s why your support can continue to propel Cross Campus.
We’ve gathered ready-to-share content, suggestions, and best practices to help you spread the word to your peers, alumni volunteers, and other members of the Yale community.
