Steve Victor

Research Associate and Lab Manager in Archaeology

Biography

I was a resident tutor in Winthrop House, Davenport’s sister college at Harvard, where I earned my doctorate in History of Science. I taught at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia and at Wayne State University in Detroit. Moving into museum work, I began an internship in material culture at the Yale Art Gallery. I worked at various museums dealing with industrial history in the Northeast until I started work at the Yale Alumni Association managing educational travel programs for alumni. That wide-ranging travel kindled my interest in archaeology, and I started taking Yale courses in archaeology. While taking courses and seminars, I began working on archaeological excavations. Now I am a part-time researcher and manager of an archaeological lab at Yale. My wife and I moved to New Haven in 1977, and we have lived in the Science Hill neighborhood, near Edgerton and East Rock parks since 1979. My wife was a librarian at Sterling library for many years. We have two grown children, both married, and two grandchildren. My hobbies include cooking, brewing beer and making cider. My wife and I love the out-of-doors and enjoy hiking in both the US and Europe. I have run beer tastings for Davenport, and I learned to do letterpress printing and taught that art in Davenport.

David Vogel

Head Coach of Men's Rowing

Biography

Three decades as a rowing coach began as coach of the Lightweight Men's Crew from shortly after graduation until 1989 when I became the Coach of the Heavyweight Men. For much of that time I also held the position of Assistant Director of the Yale Alumni Association. I helped to lead the effort to build Yale's new Gilder Boathouse. Before retiring I spent my final 7 years at Yale as a front line fundraiser. I was captain of the Lightweight Crew as a senior in Davenport. I spent time post Yale racing for the US National Rowing team. I live nearby Woodbridge where we raised two daughters and I am currently a Selectman in the town. In retirement I am involved in several volunteer efforts and I continue to row and race in master's competitions.

I received my Bachelor of Arts from Yale College in 1971.
