Event Cost: $30 for Harvard Club of San Diego Members and $40 for non-members and guests. Cost includes soft drinks, sake, sushi and private tour, as well as a donation to the Timken Museum. Since the Harvard Club is subsidizing the member rate, we can offer only the guest rate to non-Harvard Club members… sorry. About the Exhibit: The Metonymies: A Dialogue with Twentieth-Century Works from the Sonnabend Collection is a very special exhibit of Twentieth Century contemporary artwork from the Sonnabend Collection paired with classical holdings from the Timken collection. The guiding purpose of offering these contrasting selections of artworks is to highlight what was considered exceptional artwork in more classical periods and how these works compare and contrast to the creations of such artists as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jeff Koons. It is the mission of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) to provide opportunities and support to people with physical challenges, so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. CAF believes that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life. Join other San Diego Yalies when we partner with CAF to help with some campus beautification projects (spreading rocks in planting areas, washing windows, etc.) at their San Diego headquarters. Their facility showcases the mission of the foundation, honors athletes and their accomplishments, and serves as the location for educational programs, free adaptive classes and community education events. In addition to working on the outside of the building, we will also be offered a tour of the facility including their adaptive training center, watch an inspirational video of lives changed by CAF, and hear from one of their athletes in person. Each year the Yale Book Award is presented to high school juniors from selected high schools in the San Diego area in recognition of their outstanding personal character and intellectual promise. Please join your fellow alumni to meet and greet these exceptional students and their parents. We will be honoring students from Academy of Our Lady of Peace, Bishop’s, Chula Vista, Coronado, High Tech High, La Jolla Country Day, Pacific Ridge, Patrick Henry, Point Loma, Preuss, Reality Changers, St. Augustine, San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, San Dieguito, Santa Fe Christian, Scripps Ranch, Torrey Pines and University City. Please contact Tiange Zhou at tiangezhoumusic@gmail.com with any questions. Registration for the event is below: We hope you can join us!
Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) — May 11th 2019
Call for Yale Medal Nominees
DEADLINE EXTENDED – MARCH 22
We write today to ask for your participation in the Yale Medal nomination process. The Yale Medal, selected and presented by the Yale Alumni Association, is the highest award for individual volunteer service to the university.
We need your help to identify candidates whose extraordinary service is an exemplary model for other volunteers. For inspiration, read about the 2018 medalists and 2017 medalists.
Please keep in mind the many different paths to outstanding service to the university and consider Yale’s diverse population of alumni and friends, as candidates do not necessarily have to be Yale degree holders.
The alumni association confers up to five Yale Medals at a celebratory dinner during the annual Assembly in November, held in conjunction with the Yale Alumni Fund Convocation. Recipients must be present at the dinner to accept the award in person.
Please complete the nomination form online or contact the YAA for additional guidance. While nominations are accepted year-round, we ask that you submit nominations by Friday, March 22, for consideration this year. Thank you very much for your involvement in this important process.
Preferred Yale Partners — A Call for Alumni Volunteers
The Yale Office of Career Strategy is exploring better ways to network and connect Yale students with Alumni by updating summer internship programming in a more creative and flexible way. Key employer partners (including alumni and other Yale-affiliated employers) are now referred to as “Preferred Yale Partners”. These partners will be highly profiled in our employer database Yale Career Link, and promoted directly to undergraduate and graduate/ professional students in various newsletters and other platforms.
If any member of the Yale Club of San Diego would like to learn more about posting an opportunity for Yale students as a Preferred Yale Partner, please refer to the below contact information.

San Diego: History and Architecture, 1850-1940
Featured Professor: Molly McClain MA ’89, PhD ’94
Dept. of History, University of San Diego
Thursdays, March 14 – April 11 7:15 – 8:45pm
Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, University of San Diego
5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, CA 92110
Course Description:
This course looks at the way San Diegans adopted and transformed European artistic and architectural forms to create what boosters described as “a new Eden.” We discuss the origins of San Diego as a Spanish settlement, the impact of the U.S.-Mexican War, and transformation of the city with the arrival of newcomers from the Midwest and East Coast. Topics include the rise and fall of the Victorian-style home; the origin of the Craftsman bungalow; the re-invention of the “Spanish” style with Mission Revival architecture; and the rise of modernism in San Diego and the West. Emphasis throughout will be on the personalities, political events, and social forces that shaped the development of architecture and design from 1850 to 1950.
Do not miss this wonderful opportunity to join fellow alumni, experience a small seminar setting, discuss a fascinating topic, and relive the camaraderie we all had as students! Yale Alumni College.
