Welcome

Due to all of the concerns regarding the Coronavirus and travel, the Yale Alumni in Energy Conference will be postponed to November 6, 2020. We hope to see you all then! 

 

Welcome

Yale Alumni in Energy (YAE) is a group of alumni from Yale College and the various graduate and professional schools at Yale who share an interest—professional or personal—in energy.

YAE membership is open to Yale students, faculty, and alumni around the world. An annual conference, active blog, and other member-driven events will provide avenues for a regular and robust exchange of ideas. Whether your interests are in research, economics, policy, management, or the environment, we welcome your input.
