The Partners Club provides a social network and assists in taking advantage of the experiences that Yale and New Haven have to offer. From auditing courses to hiking in city parks to dining in one of the many downtown restaurants, members organize events and activities that suit their varied interests. Additionally, the SOM Partners Club offers child-friendly events, including pizza parties, trick or treating, and apple picking. Club members with children also join together to arrange play dates and other activities to enable the children to get to know one another.
All partners have access to the Payne Whitney gym and the Yale shuttle service. In addition, partners may audit Yale SOM and Yale College electives with permission from the professor. Married and same-sex domestic partners and children have access to the Yale Health Services. (Email accounts and off-hours building access are not provided to partners.)
International Spouses and Partners at Yale (ISPY) was created by and for spouses and partners of international graduate students, post-docs, scholars, and professionals at Yale. The group brings together spouses and partners to make social connections, create a support network, and share information.
