Highlights

WE HAVE ARRANGED FOR A GROUP

YALE CAMPUS TOUR
 
ON MAY 15TH AT 5:00 PM
FOR 25 CONFERENCE ATTENDEES

Yale College students provide a glimpse into the history and architecture of the University. The tours start at the Yale Visitor Center at 149 Elm Street. Hear about Yale's rich 300-year history and aspects of student life at several of Yale's twelve residential colleges. The tour also includes the Gothic Sterling Memorial Library, Yale's largest, and the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Constructed with more than one hundred panels of translucent marble, the Beinecke is home to one of the world's preeminent collections of rare materials, including the Gutenberg Bible.

Tours depart from the Visitor Center (149 Elm Street), cover the central campus area, and last about 1 hour 30 minutes. Groups of 10 or more visiting the campus are required to schedule a private tour. A video about campus life is offered 15 minutes before each of these scheduled tours.

Please sign up below - information for a waitlist is given when we have reached the 25 limit.
