Yale Latino Alumni Reunion -- Make Plans Now!

Dear Fellow Alums, 

We hope to see many of you at our first ever Yale Latino Alumni Reunion (YLAA), which will be held April 3 - 5! A team of dozens of Latino alumni have volunteered their time to organize this exciting event, which is the first national event being organized by YLAA. 

At the Reunion, we will provide an update on YLAA's organizational development and results from the AYA/YLAA survey that was sent out in the Fall, hold a brainstorming session on future YLAA's future, and announce the nominations and elections process for the first elected Board. We hope to have a new Board installed later this year and encourage you to think about nominating your friends or YOURSELF! For now, we wanted to provide the attached overview of the organization. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

We are certain that tons of energy will be created from the exciting program that the Reunion Committee Co-Chairs, Araceli Campos and Sara Salvide, have been working with their team on. We truly believe that the Reunion will fulfill the message of its theme, Uniting Yale Latinos: From Nuestra Casa to Contributions Around the World. If you haven't already, please start making your plans to come!

Announcing the Yale Latino Alumni 2008 Internship Program!

Does your organization provide summer internship opportunities for college students?  Do you work in a small business that is able to take on an eager college student this summer?  Are you a recruiter or human resources professional with knowledge of internships in a particular industry? 

If you answered Yes to any of these questions, then you may be in a position to positively impact the life of current Latino Yale undergraduates.

The Yale Latino Alumni Association of the Tri State Area (YLA) is in the process of organizing a summer internship program that will give current Yale undergraduates a chance to get hands-on experience in a variety of fields.  The chart below illustrates students' current interest by sector:


       Did you know?

 

 Most (80%) Latino undergrads are currently looking for a summer internship!

And 66% of Latinos would consider an unpaid position.

Most (90%) Latino undergrads are looking for a summer position varying from 4 to 10 weeks. 

Most (75%) Latinos are considering positions in the Tri-State area.

Please take a moment to fill out the YLAs internship survey by clicking here.

The results of the survey will be used to build an internship database that will serve as an additional resource to Latino undergraduate students as they search for summer employment.  YLA members also plan to deliver workshops on campus designed to help undergraduates develop better interviewing skills, write better resumes, and learn the skills required to build a lifelong professional network.

Thank you for taking the survey!  We look forward to working with you!
