2. IDEA
We want to build and sustain an optimistic
campus by inspiring the Yale student body
through “Perspectives of Happiness”-- a
photography exhibition that travels to several
residential colleges before it ultimately
reaches Cross Campus in April 2012 as an
outdoor exhibition and festival.

3. VISION
The exhibition celebrates and promotes the
diversity of perspectives at Yale, intercultural
understanding and the shared value of happiness.
All funds raised through the exhibition will benefit
SmileTrain, a charity organization that literally
gives children their smile back.
