Class of 1964 supports URI intern
Report by URI intern Amy Xu, supported by the Class of 1964
February 1, 2020
Note from Tony Lavely, ’64 Class Secretary:
Amy Xu ’19, our summer intern at Urban Resources Initiative during the summer of 2019, has done a very interesting presentation of her experience (see below). Classmates who attended the URI New Haven tour during our 55th Class Reunion met Amy at the beginning of the tour. Collen Murphy-Dunning, Director of URI and Director of the Yale F&ES Hixon Center for Urban Ecology, reports that Amy is in a graduate degree program in Germany this year.
Our Class has supported URI financially since 2009 by funding a summer intern each year. URI is a university partnership engaged in community forestry activities throughout New Haven. URI is a program of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies as well as a nonprofit guided by a local board of directors.
Chris Getman '64 serves as an advisor to the URI board, and Mike Price '64 is our Class liaison with Collen Murphy-Dunning at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, who oversees this program.
Here is the 11-minute video of Amy's presentation:
