How can we turn thought into action? Coming up with an idea is one thing, but implementing it or manifesting it in or as your life is another matter. Most of us have plenty of opinions; how many of us take any steps to turn them into more than armchair musings or social media rants? What are the economic forces and cultural practices beyond individual inertia that work against a life of purpose? Is individualism the very thing that keeps us from being engaged, and what can pushback against the “tyranny of no alternatives” that maintains worn-out structures?

This conversation with Bruce Jennings ’71 comes at a time when Yalies are considering how to have more impact on matters of concern. Join others to discuss how one can live one’s values.

The last two years created new challenges for all of us while highlighting the need to focus on what matters most in our lives. Join Careers, Life, and Yale as we talk with Khe Hy ’01 about productivity, prioritizing, and creating lives that reflect our values.  

Don't miss this Yale tradition! The Yale Alumni Association is excited to host you at gatherings at six different locations in Downtown New Haven to help you begin to build your Yale alumni network. Connect with other members of the Class of 2022 heading to the same city as you after graduation. All participants will receive a small welcome gift and enjoy snacks, and one free drink ticket.

Whether caring for a parent, spouse, child, or other loved one, the strain can be significant. Lauren Steffel ’04, a clinical psychologist who specializes in evidence-based treatments for trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders, has also served as a caregiver in her own family and can attest to the challenges of caregiving from both a personal and professional perspective.
