Please join us again at our monthly social gathering at Louis’ Lounge at Mory’s on Wednesday, April 8, from 5:30-7:30 PM.
Please join local Yale alumni, students, and community members on April 8 for another Gathering at Mory’s - an evening of socializing and networking - as we celebrate Yale Athletics! Our special guest will be Vicky Chun, the Thomas A. Beckett Director of Athletics at Yale.
As always, your first drink (wine, beer, soft drink) and munchies are compliments of Yale Club of New Haven.
Victoria M. "Vicky" Chun, a trailblazer in the world of collegiate athletics, was appointed as the Thomas A. Beckett Director of Athletics at Yale on February 1, 2018. Chun made history as both the first woman and first Asian American to hold this position at Yale, with oversight of 35 varsity teams and more than 50 club and intramural sports.
Since assuming her role, Chun has exhibited dynamic leadership and unwavering dedication to Yale Athletics. Her innovative approach to the challenges of NCAA Division I athletics has earned her recognition as a "Game Changer" by Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal.
In March 2023, Chun was bestowed with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year award, lauding her as a thought leader and decision maker in the world of college athletics. It was the second time she received this honor, the first being in 2018 while serving as the Vice President and Director of Athletics at Colgate University. Chun became the first Director of Athletics to win at two different institutions within the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) since the award’s inception in 1998.
