Feature stories:

The Innovator
by Cathy Shufro
When Erin Lavik got her first chemistry set at age seven, the first thing she did was mix the chemicals she wasn’t supposed to mix. In high school, she built a catapult that cracked her parents’ windshield. As a biomedical engineer, she has created the next best thing to a miracle.

House Proud
In 1969, a handful of black students founded the Afro-American Cultural Center—“the House”—as shelter and home base for African Americans at Yale. What does the House mean today to those who love it? On its 35th anniversary, House-affiliated alumni talked about outreach, Saturday night dances, and where they’d like Yale to try harder.

Youth and Consequences
by Carlo Rotella ’94PhD
In the game most people were watching, Yale lost to Harvard. But at the places where football and life intersect, the contests were more complicated and the victories harder to call.
