Yale Legacy Partners—Annual Celebration 2011

On May 13, 2011, more than 100 Yale Legacy Partners gathered on campus for the annual luncheon and program. Hosted by Vice President for Development, Inge Reichenbach, attendees were addressed by the event's keynote speaker, Provost Peter Salovey. Provost Salovey focused on the contributions Yale Legacy Partners made during the Yale Tomorrow campaign. Following the talk, members had the opportunity to ask Provost Salovey a wide range of questions. Capping the luncheon, attendees were treated to a performance by the undergraduate acappella group Whim and Rhythm. The event was held in the beautiful Greenberg Conference Center. It was a wonderful occasion to thank our planned giving donors for their generosity and support of the University.
