Director’s Note
Dear friends,
April has kept us on our toes with a busy schedule of 31 events! Among these is Bulldog Days, an event hosted by the Yale Admissions Office to welcome newly admitted students to campus. With Yale receiving its largest applicant pool ever this year, it’s been exciting to play a role in this significant moment for the university.
Also, I’m delighted to share that we’ve welcomed a new member to our team. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Christina Hill, our new Program Director. With her extensive background in event management and customer service, Christina is a valuable addition to our team!
As the spring semester comes to a close, we’re looking ahead to commencement and reunions. This is always a special time on campus and we’re honored to assist in creating memorable moments for everyone involved.
With best wishes,
Jen Zuccaro
