| Major Alumni Events | |
- Class reunions often take place after Commencement and are full-out affairs where previous Yalies celebrate their Bulldog spirit.
- One of the biggest events for alumni is the Yale-Harvard football game. "The Game" typically takes place the Saturday before fall recess and alternates between the Yale and Harvard campuses. Friendly rivalry is encouraged!
- Yale "Days of Service" are organized by Yale Associations across the country in which Yale alumni demonstrate a continued dedication to giving back to their communities.
- The Yale Club in New York City is a common venue for alumni events. The club offers lodging, dining, sports, facilities, and cultural events, and is located right next to Grand Central Station.
