By way of the AYA, we’ve received an invitation from two current Yale students to contribute to a commemorative publication honoring the 40th anniversary of coeducation:

We are Isabel and Emily, two students in Yale College [Emily is Branford ’10]. We major in English and Art, and English and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, respectively. As recipients of the legacy of coeducation, we are dedicated to trying to understand what this legacy really means.

To that end, we, with the backing of the Yale College Dean’s office, are compiling a commemorative publication in honor of the 40th anniversary of coeducation. Contributions are welcome in the form of personal essays or specific historical examinations, from current students, alums, and faculty.

We are committed to publishing a diverse array of experiences; we believe that every individual voice will benefit Yale, and its current students. If you have any interest in contributing, or any questions, please contact us at yalecoeducationpublication [at] gmail [dot] com.
