Tips
for the Tercentennial Weekend ::
Yale College Students
Ticket
Pickup: For Yale Bowl and Former President Clinton
-
Pick
up Yale Bowl tickets in the office designated
by your residential college. In case you forgot to
sign up, I have sent some extras to each college with
a limit of one per person for these extra tickets
for those who did not sign up on time.
-
If
you got the e-mail saying you registered in time to
get a ticket for President Clinton, pick it
up with your Yale ID on the second floor of the Woolsey
Rotunda on:
Wednesday
and Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Friday, 10:00 a.m. to Noon
Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to Noon
Tickets
are not transferable; Yale ID required for entry.
| Friday,
October 5 |
For
the Academic Convocation on Cross Campus |
| 10:00
a.m. - Noon |
Pick
up robes and Tercentennial pins in your courtyard
(It will be helpful in the timing of the procession
for you to have your robes before noon, but those
who have classes through the morning can still get
their robes until 12:20 or so.) |
| Approximately
12:15 p.m. |
Line
up in your courtyard according to instructions
from your Dean as to precise time and place. |
| 1:00
p.m. |
Attend
the Academic Convocation! (Alas, if it is raining,
the ceremony will have to be held in Woolsey Hall
with limited attendance; each College Master will
have selected twenty students to represent your
college. We hope everyone else will watch the ceremony
which will be broadcast live on Yale cable in your
residential college TV room and on Yale cable, generally.) |
| |
Following
the Convocation, we hope that students will turn
their robes back in, since we plan to donate them
to a number of area churches and schools. There
will be drop off bins on Wall Street and inside
the Old Campus. |
Yale
300 at the Bowl: Friday - Shuttles Start at 3:30
P.M.!
After
the Convocation, grab your warm parka and jump
on the shuttle buses which will be at Phelps Gate
and at Payne-Whitney. (There are other pick-up
spots along Hillhouse Avenue.) Get to the Bowl
early to enjoy the Yale 300 Festival with over
60 attractions and performances. Shuttle buses
start at 3:30 p.m. and leave until 6:00 p.m.
|
Yale
300 Festival |
| 4:30
- 7:00 p.m. |
Take
in over 60 exhibits, performances and activities.
There is even a faculty band and lots of student
performing groups. |
Yale
300 Tercentennial Show
|
| 7:00
p.m. |
Yale
College students have been seated in approximately
the same areas students use for football games.
You know how to sort yourselves by College!
|
- Don't
forget your ticket for the Bowl! No one will
be admitted without a ticket.
- NO
backpacks, coolers, tote bags, or other large
items will be allowed in the Bowl area because
of security reasons.
- Box
dinners for every Yale student with a meal contract
will be given out in the "Yale College
Student Hospitality Center" which is to
the right immediately when you walk into the
Festival from the shuttle drop off point. (Off
campus students can use Eli Bucks.) Other food,
ice cream, and desserts are available for sale
throughout the Festival as well as Tercentennial
souvenirs. Please note that residential college
dining halls are not open during the Festival
and Bowl show, only Commons.
- After
the Show, shuttle buses depart from the same
area you arrived (Yale Avenue). Buses leave
for forty-five minutes following the Show.
