Yale Infrastructure Society

Building Yale’s community for the physical economy.

About the Society

We bring together Yale students serious about how the systems the world depends on are financed, built, owned, and operated.

Our members are drawn to power, digital infrastructure, industry, transportation, real estate, and the built environment. The Society helps them understand, finance, and eventually build the systems civilization depends on.
