Yale President Peter Salovey Visits San Diego

9 September 2019, TSRI Auditorium

It was the distinct honor and privilege of the Yale Club of San Diego to welcome Yale University’s twenty-third President Peter Salovey as our guest for a memorable and engaging event at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) Auditorium.

The evening began with local Alumni mingling with President Salovey and representatives of the Yale Alumni Association during a catered light hors d’oeuvres reception. The President’s address discussed developing Yale programs and facilities notably in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, strengthening partnerships worldwide, increasing access to a Yale College education, enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration and entrepreneurial opportunity for both faculty and students. He also detailed his goal to positioned the Yale community as it pursues its mission to improve the world today and for future generations. The concluding audience Q&A was a frank discussion addressing multiple topics: the recent admissions scandal and what has been done going forward; intellectual property theft and promoting collaboration; protecting free speech on campus and challenging students to step out of their comfort zone; and the future of Yale in the 21st century.

Highlights from the 2019 YCSD Annual Brunch “Journalism in the Trump Era”

During a picturesque and delightfully sunny San Diego city backdrop, the YCSD welcomed our guest speaker Ms. Katharine Mieszkowski ’93, senior reporter for Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting. Her multimedia presentation introduced the audience to how traditional journalistic precepts have changed during the Trump administration affecting not only the public but also the reporting journalists.

During Q&A the audience addressed what should be done to properly recognize and hold accountable sources of media and information. What is “fair”, “fact”, and “fake”? Should government censorship be an option? Should the free market be left to sort it out? Is there another way or is this history repeating itself using different media? Regardless of one’s opinion(s) a great discussion was had by all. In true Yale spirit the afternoon was insightful and respectful while tackling a provocative topic. Thanks again to Ms. Mieszkowski for visiting the YCSD.
