The Ulysses S. Grant Foundation—an educational partnership between Yale and New Haven middle school students, uniting students in ‘exploration and discovery’ since 1953—hosted a student forum of over 100 participants on July 27th. Led by Gregory Prince, chair of the 125th Anniversary Committee, and Christopher Magoon, Council Advisor ’11, the 6-9th grade students focused on education including the benefits of ‘being able to ask questions.’
