2024 Yale Day of Service!
About Yale Day of Service
Yale Day of Service is the university’s annual celebration of service, with Yalies banding together each year to give back to their local communities. In all, alumni communities host close to 300 service projects each year. We estimate that at least 3,500 service initiatives have taken place in the program’s history, dating back to its inception in 2008.
What began more than a decade ago as a single day has now grown into an ongoing call to action for service activities that span the globe, in sectors from environmental clean-ups to educational webinars, legal clinics to house painting.
Now more than ever, every day can be a Yale day of service. How will YOU make a difference this year?

The Yale Club of South Florida and Books & Books are thrilled to present an evening with Carmine Vittoria for his fascinating book.
Join us for this exciting discussion and indulge in some snacks and drinks!
About the Book:
Have you ever wondered what life was like for those caught in the crossfire of warring armies during WWII?
Step back in time to Southern Italy during WWII and discover the hidden secrets that have been buried for decades. In "Hidden in Plain Sight," physicist and historian Carmine Vittoria weaves a gripping tale of survival and resilience, shining a light on the plight of Jewish internees and townspeople caught in the crossfire of warring armies.
Through his vivid storytelling, Vittoria transports readers to a time and place where survival was uncertain, and every day brought new challenges. Despite the turmoil and chaos of war, a special kind of empathetic connection emerged between these two communities. Their lives became entangled in unexpected ways, forging a more realistic and humane view of history in these small towns of Southern Italy.
"Hidden in Plain Sight" is a must-read for anyone who loves historical fact/fiction that is both informative and engaging. Vittoria's unique academic background and being there adds a layer of depth, feeling, and authenticity to the story that will leave readers captivated from start to finish.
"Hidden in Plain Sight" is a must-read for anyone who loves historical fact/fiction that is both informative and engaging. In short, it is about life itself at the most perilous time in history never told before. Don't miss out on this incredible journey back in time.
Order your copy of "Hidden in Plain Sight" today and discover the dark secrets that have been hidden for decades.
About the Author:
Carmine Vittoria received his Ph.D. in applied quantum physics from Yale University in 1970. He is currently a professor at Northeastern University, where he has established a world-class research laboratory in the development of new microwave films deposited at the atomic scale. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and IEEE.
A Private Art Reception for Art Basel Miami Beach
Private Art Reception for Art Basel Miami Beach Week
Tuesday, December 5
6 to 8 PM
David Castillo Gallery
3930 NE 2nd Avenue, Suite 201, Miami, FL 33137
$40 per person
As the art world takes over Miami for Art Basel Miami Beach in December, we'll be gathering our community of Yale alumni and parents at the prestigious David Castillo Gallery. Join us for wine, art & hors d'oeuvres!
David Castillo is a Yale alum (BA ‘96, Branford) and will offer remarks on his career journey from his undergraduate studies in New Haven to opening his eponymous gallery in Miami.
Learn more about David Castillo Gallery via his website, or via features in Artnews (2023) and The New York Times (2018).
On view will be Impressions, a solo exhibition of new works on silk by Chinese-born painter, Su Su. These new works employ a technique of the artist's own invention, wherein oil paint is injected using a needle through the backside of the image. Oil paint serves as both medium and methodology in these works, facilitating metamorphic figurative paintings that navigate the intersections of cultural memory, canonical legacies and representations of femininity.
Space is Limited - Register Today
PS - Can’t make the reception? Be sure to say hello at David Castillo Gallery’s booth located at B47 at Art Basel Miami Beach, which will be exhibiting works by two Yalies: Vaughn Spann (Yale School of Art MFA, Painting and Printmaking, Class of 2018) and Nadir Souirgi (Yale School of Art MFA, Painting and Printmaking, Class of 2024)
