Caltech Y

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Caltech Y Friends Dinner! We loved seeing our community come together to share a meal, connect with fellow Friends, and hear an inspiring talk on the intersection of AI and robotics. A special thank you to Professor Ames and the Caltech Robotics Team for their incredible demos, and to our event sponsors and Enterprise.

As we begin our 110th year, we are deeply grateful for the Friends whose support makes it possible for the Y to continue making a difference in the lives of students and the broader community.

We hope to see you at our next Friends event: a Food Truck Open House and student poster session on May 17!
