Duke University President and former Dean of Yale College, Richard Brodhead, will deliver opening remarks at the Yale Class of 1998’s, Class Dinner on June 7, 2008.

Yep, that’s right!

He’s a president now, so be sure to refer to him as “President” Brodhead rather than “Dean” Brodhead.

We’re super psyched President Brodhead is taking time from his busy schedule to offer remarks to our class.

This is a class dinner not to be missed!

We’ve got an iPod and a DJ.

Let us know what jams you want to hear, and we’ll do our best to make sure you hear them!

Tunes can be those made popular during our time at Yale or some of your current favorites.

Just press “comments” below and share your suggestions.

On Saturday, June 7, between 2 - 4 p.m., come hear from the 98ers below and more who will be speaking on their experiences in entrepreneurship, education, publishing, politics, and service in the war zone during 50 minute sessions.
