The Yale School of Management inaugurated Edward P. Evans Hall, its new campus, with a ceremony on January 9.

The ceremony opened Business + Society: Leadership in an Increasingly Complex World, a three-day conference celebrating the new campus. Yale SOM Dean Edward A. Snyder delivered remarks, along with four other speakers: Yale University president Peter Salovey PhD ’86; former Yale SOM dean and current faculty member Sharon M. Oster; founding Yale SOM dean William Donaldson YC ’53; and William Beinecke YC ’36, a philanthropist and longtime supporter of the school.
