Hailing from as near as New Haven and as far as Beijing and beyond, more than 300 Yale alumni and students united over the weekend at the inaugural Yale Asian Alumni Reunion, April 11-13, organized by the Association of Asian American Yale Alumni with the Association of Yale Alumni and the Asian American Cultural Center (AACC).
This year marks the 160th anniversary of the 1854 commencement when Yung Wing became Yale’s first Asian alumnus. Some 15,000 living alumni have followed him and now represent the diverse cultures of the Asian and Asian-American community.
