Vice Presidents of Programming

Introducing the YPGA Programming Committee!

At YPGA, we believe in the power of community and the importance of fostering connections among Yale postgraduates. That’s where our Programming Committee comes in.

As a member of the Programming Committee, you’ll play a crucial role in shaping the postgrad experience. From brainstorming innovative event ideas to coordinating logistics and ensuring everything runs smoothly, your dedication and creativity are vital to our success.

Our monthly committee meetings (which may switch to weekly or bi-weekly during big event planning) provide a collaborative space where members can share ideas, plan upcoming events, and contribute to the vibrant social atmosphere of YPGA. Whether you’re a seasoned event planner or simply eager to make a difference in our community, there’s a place for you on our team.

So, if you’re passionate about creating inclusive and enjoyable experiences for postgraduates at Yale, we invite you to join us! Please complete our Interest Form or reach out to the VP’s Anouk Corstens (anouk.corstens@yale.edu) or Navya Murugesan to learn more about becoming a part of the YPGA Programming Committee.
