Convocation and Reunions

Yale Divinity School Convocation and Reunions: October 19-22, 2021

Plans are in the works across the Quad to welcome alumni/ae and friends from around the world to Convocation activities October 19-22, 2021. Because of the positive response and expanded audience for the virtual programming at Convocation 2020, we are making sure this fall’s events will include several virtual opportunities for our guests to hear from and connect with faculty, students, and fellow alumni/ae. We expect full schedule and registration to open in early September.

As of April 2021, we are unable to make firm plans to host in-person activities. As soon as we have clearance from Yale University, state, and local health officials, we will consider organizing in-person events that would be held in addition to the virtual convocation programming. We recognize that the YDS community is one that spans the globe and that not all locations have been similarly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To help us plan for both virtual and in-person events, we ask for your participation in a short survey of your interests here.

Plans are also in the works for Reunion activities, for 2021 cohorts and the 2020 cohorts that were postponed last fall. If you have interest in helping plan social or programmatic activities, please email us at divinity.alumni@yale.edu. Be on the lookout for class-specific information coming to your email inbox over the next few months.

We’ll continue to update information on this page email you as soon plans are finalized. Meanwhile, here are some things you can do:

• Please make sure your email is up to date in the Online Alumni Directory.
• Get in touch with your classmates.
• Join in any pre-reunion virtual meetings or events planned by your class.
