Events Calendar

Want to chat with four Yale alums about their hard-leadership-lessons-learned? Want to learn how their views of individual leadership have changed? And understand how leadership has transformed the way they lead themselves and/or their teams?

Apply at https://bit.ly/LSF22 to attend our four-session Student Leadership Forum.

The Leadership Forum (now in its 10th year) will give you insights on individual leadership and team-building. Past discussion leaders have included: innovators, Rhodes and Marshall Scholars, an executive of the World Bank, a member of the military, Yale Medal winners, movers-and-shakers in financial services, not-for-profit and healthcare leaders, trial lawyers, and many more.

Led by Yalies with life-coaching, religious, sports, entertainment, and corporate finance leadership experience, your Leadership Forum kicks off with an afternoon and an evening discussion on Friday, February 25. Then we continue with an afternoon and an evening discussion on Friday, March 4. Each of your four sessions will be led by a different Yale alum.

Here’s what to expect:

• Your Leadership Forum will be alumni-led
• You'll interact with Yale alums conveying real-life leadership wisdom from far beyond campus
• Everything is interactive; we’ll interactively grapple with tough leadership challenges
• We've set aside time for Q&A and discussion
• We'll later arrange a post-Forum dialogue on your views ... and share them with the rest of Yale

Recent events have many of us searching for meaning personally and ultimately. As the pause button was hit on business-as-usual, more space has been allotted for reflection, and some of us have found that we may have been walking on groundless ground or that we're no longer satisfied with where we placed priorities and what sustained us. In this program, we will be offered a means to bring a spiritual depth to our lives based on modern psycho-spiritual techniques. In his workshops and secular rituals, Daniel Lev Shkolnik ’15 offers profound experiences centered on our common humanity and are accessible to all beliefs, and he’ll share his uplifting work with fellow Yalies in a conversational format.

Eraina Ferguson ’10 MAR, a longtime special needs advocate, will discuss parenting a child with special needs as well as how to navigate the new normal. She will also discuss what it was like parenting a special needs child while obtaining three academic degrees, including one from Yale. 

In recognition of Women’s History Month, you are invited to join Careers, Life, and Yale and The Yale Club of Washington, D.C. to hear from two highly accomplished Yale women who have chosen to dedicate their careers in service to our country. U.S. Department of Defense's Katie Rivkin Visser ’06, ’11 JD will moderate a discussion with recently sworn-in U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Anne Witkowsky ’82. All are welcome to learn about their inspiring stories.
