College Row Classes Fall Campus Day

Join Roger Grant, Deputy Provost and Dean of the Arts and Humanities, for this first of three sessions of Wesleyan Alumni & Family Academy, a free, no-credit (and homework optional!) hybrid course.

The Wesleyan Alumni and Family Academy is in its second of a three-year pilot program aiming to provide Wesleyan alumni and families with the opportunity to engage with Wesleyan faculty in a classroom-type setting, while highlighting Wesleyan’s commitment to access, launch, and activate possibilities in a way that resonates on campus, across distance, and through generations. 

The strength and power of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community is grounded in the racial/ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity of its members and also shared perspectives.  However, long-held assumptions oftentimes mask multifaceted experiences and the relationship between AAPI identity and politics.

John Yang '80, anchor of PBS News Weekend and a correspondent for the PBS News Hour, and Daniel Martinez HoSang '93, Professor of American Studies at Yale University who writes about race and politics, will share their insights about the impact of the rapidly shifting political landscape on the stories and viewpoints of AAPI individuals.

Moderated by Saeyun Lee ’93 and hosted by the Asian American and Pacific Islander Alumni Celebration.

Now entering its 33rd year, the Dwight L. Greene Symposium honors Dwight L. Greene '70 as a memorial and tribute to his life and work as a professor of law, mentor and friend. Each year, presenters are selected from among Wesleyan's alumni, faculty, and friends who have distinguished themselves in their professions, to share on topics of importance for Black alumni, alumni of color, and the Wesleyan community at large.

This symposium provides an opportunity to hear from a diverse set of voices while facilitating networking and reconnecting with members of the Wesleyan community with each other and ensures that diversity remains an important part of the Wesleyan experience.

Historically sponsored by the Black Alumni Council and Alumni of Color Council, the symposium serves as a long-standing campus tradition and a time to reflect on where we were, where we are, and most importantly…where we are headed.

Parents, families, friends, and guests are invited to join students for lunch at Usdan University Center. Sample a variety of fresh, local, and made-to-order options from Bon Appetit, Wesleyan’s on-campus dining service. Enjoy salad bars, carving stations, hot entrees, numerous side dishes, beverages, and desserts. Vegetarian, vegan, and Kosher-style options are available and you do not need to specify your meal preference in advance. 

Tickets: $20/adults. Purchase tickets within the registration form. A limited number of meals may be available on-site at the Marketplace cashier (2nd floor).
