Yalies get busy
June 5, 2009

Yale alumni around the world gathered to do volunteer work in their communities on Saturday, May 16. We asked participants to send photos that convey their experience of the day for a contest; the winning photo will be published in the July/August issue of the Yale Alumni Magazine. In the meantime, here is a sampling of the images we’ve received.
