Program information, registration, and more coming soon.

It's Time for an Emotion Revolution! I recently had the inspiring experience of sitting down with the associate director for the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence to discuss the upcoming Emotional Revolution Summit (ERS) -- a game-changing effort between the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and Lady Gaga.

Ivy+ colleagues, this is written by one of the professors we'd hope to have speak at the conference (unfortunately, he was out of town that week). His research on human networks is so relevant to our work with alumni communities!

Making Friends in New Places At the start of freshman year, there’s a window of opportunity when rules about social interactions are suspended and it feels perfectly normal to talk to strangers. Do it.

For those who didn't get to go on our tour of the Grove Street Cemetery, here's and article from the NYTimes.

The Nation’s First Planned Burial Ground Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven, where Eli Whitney, Noah Webster and other notable figures lieare buried, was started because of epidemics of yellow fever and scarlet fever and opened in 1797.

To all of this year's Ivy Plus conference participants: THANK YOU! Thank you for making the trip, for sharing your wisdom, questions, and ideas, and for being such enjoyable guests. We *loved* sharing Yale and New Haven with you, and hope you'll stop by for a visit before another 10 years has gone by.
