Please join 85 Broads and Whim N' Rhythm, Yale University's premier female a cappella group, for Sunday Jazz Brunch! Who We Are Whim ‘n Rhythm is Yale University’s premier senior all-women’s a cappella group! Delighting audiences from Maine to Hong Kong and from California to the White House, Whim ‘n Rhythm brings professional musicianship, a sophisticated spirit, and an elegant presence to every memorable performance. Music and Performance Whim ‘n Rhythm's repertoire ranges from upbeat jazz standards to classic show tunes; contemporary pop favorites to traditional ballads and occasionally a Whim ‘n Rhythm original. Bill Allen of the Chicago Tribune wrote of the group, “They’re singing all the songs I asked for . . . for older people, it’s nostalgia, for young people, it’s just good music!” Tradition of Change The tradition of a cappella singing, now well established on college campuses throughout the U.S., originated at Yale University. Since the founding of the Whiffenpoofs in 1909 and the immortalization of The Whiffenpoof Song by Rudy Vallee (Yale ’27) in the 1930’s, the reputation of Yale’s a cappella groups has reached far beyond the ivy walls. In 1969, with the establishment of coeducation at Yale, women began to add their voices to this tradition. Founded in 1981, Whim ‘n Rhythm was created by seven Yale women who came together to form what had long been absent from Yale’s a cappella tradition: a senior women’s group. The original members combined their musical talent with an abiding interest in the equal role of women. In the past 25 years, the group has quickly achieved international renown. Every new concert season, fourteen Yale senior women, hand-picked at the end of their junior year for outstanding vocal ability, continue the Whim ‘n Rhythm tradition. All women carry a full course load, perfecting their music and performance skills in their spare time. Because they receive no financial backing from the University, Whim ‘n Rhythm is a non-profit organization and uses the money they make in concert fees to cover the cost of bringing their music to audiences throughout the United States and the world. Along with the joy of sharing their music, group members take a special pride in keeping Whim 'n Rhythm’s founding spirit alive. Concert Season Whim ‘n Rhythm performs throughout the academic year at college campuses, private parties, clubs, corporate functions, preparatory schools, restaurants, and resorts across the United States. The group tours the United States during Winter Break with this year’s Winter Tour in New York City. The concert season then culminates in a World Tour following the group members’ May graduation. This year, Whim ‘n Rhythm will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary with a six-week world tour of Asia, Europe, South America and Hawaii. 85 Broads 85 Broads was founded in 1999 by Janet Hanson, an entrepreneur with a distinguished Wall Street background. Today, 85 Broads is a dynamic and diverse community of over 10,000 members worldwide including women MBAs and undergraduate students from leading institutions around the world.

Pierson College Presents... A Master's Tea with: Jason Kamras 2005 National Teacher of the Year 1996 Teach For America Corps Member About Jason: Having a bachelor's degree from Princeton and a master's from Harvard meant Jason Kamras had many career options. His decision to choose teaching was influenced by a college experience as a Volunteer in Service to America teacher in a Sacramento (California) Unified School District community learning center. Through this work, Kamras became convinced of one thing- limited access to well-funded, high quality schools for economically disadvantaged students is the greatest social injustice facing America today. And every day for eight years he has helped chip away at that inequity in is work as a teacher at John Philip Sousa Middle School in Washington, DC. Recently recognized as the 2005 National Teacher of the Year, Jason began his career as a Teach For America corps member, teaching at Sousa Middle School. He remained at the school for eight years, contributing to its curricular changes and increased academic achievement. In addition to virtually revamping the school's math program for much greater success, Jason co-founded and directed the EXPOSE program, in which students use digital cameras and computer software to create autobiographical photo-essays about their lives and communities. For this work, Jason was awarded the 2001 Mayor's Art Award for Outstanding Contribution to Arts Education. Additional Info/Contact: Reception to Follow | ||
