Yale Class of '69 50th Reunion Survey

The survey was performed by CSR for the Yale class of ‘69’s 50th reunion in 2019. Surveys were sent via email and mail in early 2018 and the survey closed March 1, 2018. Of the 924 living class members, 570 responded. The survey asked questions about values, politics, income, and a number of lighthearted questions about life choices and habits. In the “who we were” category, questions asked what kinds of high schools they attended (public vs private), majors at Yale, and extracurriculars at Yale, among other questions.
