This year’s San Diego Feb Club is at: Since then, we have had more than 1,000 parties and have welcomed more than 30,000 guests all with one aim – to hang out with an amazing, diverse, vibrant, curious and fun group of people from all Yale College classes, all Yale graduate and professional schools and all walks of life. Feb Club Emeritus has only three rules: no speeches, no fundraising, it’s just a party. It’s that simple. We hope you can join us. $25 for YCSD Contributing Members, $30 for all others. Presidential Patrons and higher enter free of charge. Register here: Please join Penn and the Ivy+ Friends for a creative evening and tour of Lux Art Institute. Attendees will enjoy a beer and wine garden, food, live music, incredible art, a 360° view of Surf and Skate culture in Encinitas discussion, and family-friendly art activities in the early part of the evening. Expect the unexpected with other fun surprises. 🙂 We will be given a private tour for our group. SAVE THE DATE — May 11th 2019 Details to follow.Feb Club Emeritus — For Fun, For Friendship, and for Yale.
Every year, Yale alumni and their friends gather around the world every night of February — in small groups and large, in cities, towns, hamlets and villages, on every continent. Why do we do it? Simple. Because it’s fun to get together. That’s it. There is no agenda. There is no plan. Feb Club is simply a way for Yalies the world over to get together. This approach has worked since the first worldwide Feb Club in 2008.
Call for YAA Board of Governors Nominees
Dear YAA Assembly Delegate:
We are seeking YAA delegates who would like to be considered to serve on the YAA Board of Governors for a three-year term beginning July 2019. All current delegates – those appointed to represent their constituency, at-large delegates, and those who serve as ex officio delegates (e.g., class secretaries, club presidents, G&P association presidents) – are eligible to be nominated.
For delegates with several years of experience and service in additional volunteer roles, we strongly encourage self-nominations. I also invite you to nominate other delegates who you believe to be qualified candidates as well.
Please click here to access the nomination form, which must be returned by February 11, 2019 to YAABoard@yale.edu or 203-432-8144 (fax).
Board members support the work of the YAA by direct involvement in and leadership of a number of committees and other Yale alumni-led volunteer organizations. Responsibilities include attending Board and committee meetings usually held in New Haven four times a year (September, November in conjunction with the Assembly and Convocation, February, and late April). Board committee work continues between meetings, by telephone, e-mail, and in-person meetings from time to time.
All nominations will be reviewed by the Board of Governors Nominating Committee, which is composed of sitting delegates, who will develop a slate of candidates from that pool. Typically, experienced delegates/volunteers are given primary consideration by the Board of Governors Nominating Committee. Later this spring, YAA Assembly delegates will vote on the nominations to elect the six board members.
If you are a current delegate and interested in serving on the Nominating Committee this year, please contact Alisa Masterson directly. Note that delegates who serve on the Nominating Committee cannot be a candidate for nomination in that year.
If you have questions about Board service, the nomination process, or the election, please feel free to contact me at nancyastratford@gmail.com or Alisa at alisa.masterson@yale.edu
Thanks again for all you do for and on behalf of Yale.

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.
