...and alumni FACTS
We thought you would enjoy these demographic statistics from the Yale University Office of Alumni Records. Please note, a significant number of alumni do not provide responses to some or all of the Office of Alumni Records questions, and therefore the numbers do not always "add up." Moreover, information is not always updated by alumni (now that we have our new fillable form, it should be easy to update your information!) With those disclaimers, please enjoy these stats which do provide a general, if fuzzy, snapshot of our alumni population!
