Celebrating the tenth anniversary of West Campus
On October 26, members of the Nursing School joined with others from around the university in a daylong symposium and reception to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Yale’s West Campus.

We almost doubled our population. That was the day when West Campus was clearly going to work.”
