Joining Yale in sponsoring New Haven 101 this year are Albertus Magnus College, Southern Connecticut State University and the University of New Haven, as well as Vision for a Greater New Haven. The League of Women Voters also will sponsor a separate voter registration drive as part of the day's activities. Many of the 50 exhibitors plan interactive displays, raffles and giveaways for the 1,000 or more participants expected on Old Campus throughout the day. Students, faculty and staff have fun and learn where to shop, where to relax, and how to get involved with the life of the broader New Haven community. Vendors have a free opportunity to exhibit their wares and explain their services.
New Haven gains from both.
The success of the event is due to the cooperation of all involved, especially the colleges and universities of New Haven. Along with the presidents of the educational institutions involved, Bishop Rosazza is an honorary co-chair of New Haven 101. Old Campus is located on Elm Street between College and High streets. Those interested in finding out more about New Haven 101 should contact Heather Calabrese of Vision for a Greater New Haven at 782-4380.
