Notice the "Q" lapel: Yale Associate VP Rich Jacob, at center, at Monday's Upper Science Hill groundbreaking with new Yale prez Maurie McInnis and Gov. Ned Lamont.
McInnis and Lamont kick up some dirt with Mayor Justin Elicker and Provost Scott Strobel.
A mystery letter “Q” lapel pin whispered a dream about New Haven’s future at a groundbreaking Monday afternoon for a project that will transform Yale’s campus at the border of the East Rock neighborhood.

The first night of the Beinecke Plaza encampment, on April 19.
More than 40 Yale student protesters who were arrested en masse at a pro-Palestinian encampment in Beinecke Plaza last semester are calling for a state judge to throw out their criminal trespassing charges on the grounds that they weren’t all properly notified before Yale police started making arrests.

Kierra Gunneson moved into her new room at Albertus Magnus College with all of the dorm staples: fans, blankets, outfits, and of course, her blue weighted dragon pillow to accompany her as she embarked on her new chapter of young adulthood.
First-year students like Gunneson and their parents lined up in front of Dominican Hall Friday morning at the local Catholic college on the border of Prospect Hill and Newhallville as they packed their bags and prepped for their first day of school.

New lab building, new greenspace, OK'd for Science Hill.
A green, landscaped, public-welcoming entry point to Yale’s northeastern campus is coming to Science Hill — as part of a Yale Bowl-sized redevelopment project, including a massive new lab and classroom building, newly approved by the City Plan Commission.
Local Catholic college Albertus Magnus is expanding its partnership with New Haven Promise to include adult learners — specifically, New Haven Promise alumni earning a degree through Albertus’s Professional and Graduate Studies (PGS) Division.
Bye-bye berms, at Yale construction site on Whitney.
Yale won permission to demolish a handful of Science Hill buildings, including a 661-space parking garage, and then construct a new 406-space parking garage — in the latest set of approvals designed to tee up the future development of a major new laboratory and classroom building.

Matt: These "people are peaceful."
Matt flew in from Minnesota for the day to celebrate his brother-in-law’s graduation from Yale’s medical school.
But his family didn’t have enough tickets for him to join in with the thousands of other proud family members and friends at the university’s commencement ceremony.
So instead, he found himself out on College Street on the Green — wearing a suit and holding a bouquet of flowers, and watching approvingly as several dozen pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated against Israel’s continued war in Gaza.
Wearing keffiyehs and mortarboards decorated with the colors of the Palestinian flag, a group of Yale students walked out of commencement and onto the Green to continue calling for the university to “disclose and divest” from weapons manufacturers implicated in Israel’s war in Gaza.

Yale is seeking to build up its scientific campus by digging down into the earth, as revealed during a presentation on future buildings with a massive underground presence.
Protesters out of the street, back on Yale's campus, at around 5:45.
(Updated at 5:59 p.m.) The streets around Yale’s downtown campus are back open now that pro-Palestinian protesters who had blocked traffic at the intersection of Grove, Prospect, and College for more than eight hours reached a deal with police to leave — without anyone else getting arrested.

Yale is soon to test out a new way of heating and cooling campus buildings without burning fossil fuels: by drawing from the earth’s temperature 850 feet below “Science Hill.”

American “meritocracy” has become a trap for people at both ends of growing income inequality, in the view of a Yale law professor who has made a name for himself diving deep into the data.

Clip high, clip low, create a window. Also don’t be a Tarzan and pull on those cut vines lest you disturb insect habitats or the birds high in the trees above.
Those were among the illuminating arboricultural tips offered for some serious de-vining of New Haven’s invasive-threatened native oaks, maples, sycamores, and hackberry trees growing on a beautiful but under-loved patch of city-owned forested greenspace.
