2026 YSEA Annual Meeting and Awards Reception
The Yale Science & Engineering Association (YSEA) held its Annual Meeting and Awards Reception on April 15, 2026, at the Elm City Club in New Haven, bringing together alumni, faculty, students, and guests to celebrate excellence across Yale’s science and engineering community.
At the meeting, YSEA recognized 44 Seniors of Distinction for their academic achievement, research contributions, and leadership. A full list of honorees is available on the YSEA website.
YSEA also presented its two major alumni awards:
- The YSEA Award for Advancement of Basic and Applied Science was awarded to Harlan Krumholz, a leader in outcomes research whose work has advanced cardiovascular care through the use of real-world data and national quality metrics.
- The YSEA Award for Meritorious Service to Yale University was awarded to Vincent Wilczynski, whose leadership has had a lasting impact on engineering education at Yale through the development of hands-on, project-based learning programs.
The event provided an opportunity to reconnect with the Yale STEM community and highlight the continued strength and breadth of student achievement.
The meeting also included the election of YSEA’s board and officers for the coming year.
