Welcome to the Yale Global Alumni Leadership Exchange website. YaleGALE is an AYA initiative that seeks the advancement of education through alumni engagement and leadership that fosters rich cultural understanding, shares best practices in alumni relations and provides reciprocal educational opportunities among world leading universities.
The program was pioneered by
Yale and the Australian National University (ANU) both members of the International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU) in 2008 with a delegation of Yale Alumni visiting ANU. You can learn more about the first venture by clicking on the link to the left.
Following the success of YaleGALE in Australia, the program expanded to Japan in 2009 working with the University of Tokyo and the University Management Initiatives Consortium with representatives from over 100 universities. YaleGALE hosted a delegation from Japan at the AYA Assembly in November 2009. In 2010, YaleGALE worked with universities in Turkey. In 2011, YaleGALE will go to China to work with universities in Beijing and Shanghai.
YaleGALE is the sponsoring organization for the AYA Resource Book, a compendium of alumni contributions describing active alumni engagement and the personal motivation for being an involved alumnus.
YaleGALE is a Steering Committee of the AYA Board of Governors working to enhance the global cooperation of the participating institutions and broaden international affiliations to foster enhanced excellence in education through alumni leadership.
