Welcome Yale ’71 Classmates!
Dear Yale College Class of 1971 members, families, and friends,
As you know, Yale ’71ers were trailblazers in many respects. Our class includes the first women to graduate from Yale College. We were the first to take meals in Commons without mandatory coats and ties. We were among the first classes composed under modernized inclusive admissions guidelines.
True to form, Yale ’71 has been redefining the online community experience for Yale classes. And you can benefit by taking two easy steps. As a Class member, you’re invited to register for full site access — as nearly half of our Classmates already have. You’ll gain entry to private areas (Photo Galleries, In Memoriam, Online Community, online discussions, and the 45th Anniversary Class Survey).
Then take a few minutes to complete or update your online community profile. This cool feature is free to use for registered Class members, always available wherever you find a computer, and updatable as new life events occur. It has its own internal messaging system, so you can reach your classmates easily. About 20 percent of the Class has already contributed to the Community. If you don’t yet have a profile, please read “Contributing Your Community Profile” under the Frequently Asked Questions. Please include a current head photo with your bio. It’s so nice see how well we’ve “matured” since Yale!

Yale71.org has been in continuous operation since September 2006. Though it is designed and maintained by a core group of classmates, it’s a resource for all of us to develop. As more of us contribute to it, the richer it becomes. We invite you to explore the site, have fun reminiscing — then send along material you’d like to publish (press releases, family news, photos, essays…whatever).
Best regards,
Andy Kaufman (Class Secretary), Bill Primps (Class Treasurer), and the website team: Tim Powell (Class VP of Technology), and Rick Cech (Photo Editor and Survey Director).
