• Changing the World by Turning Classrooms Inside Out

  May 31

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Sterling Law Building | Room: Levinson Auditorium — 127 Wall Street

  Heather K. Gerken, Dean of the Yale Law School and Sol and Lillian Goldman Professor of Law

  Imagine turning a classroom inside out, enlisting our most extraordinary resource – students – in the service of change. Imagine if we enabled students to learn by doing, to put theory into practice through hands-on work, to bring their training to bear on shared problems. At Yale Law School, we call such classes “clinics.” In recent years students and faculty have convinced the courts to allow veterans to file class action suits; and won injunctions to halt the President’s first travel ban, and to protect DACA DREAMers, and sanctuary cities. They’ve created the first community bank in New Haven, transformed bail practices in Connecticut, uncovered evidence of genocide in Myanmar, and challenged the use of executive power in the U.S. Dean Gerken will describe Yale’s clinical model and discuss the ways in which other university faculty and law schools could turn their own classrooms inside out.

• Tour of Evans Hall at Yale School of Management

  May 31

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Edward P. Evans Hall — 165 Whitney Ave.

  Edward P. Evans Hall is Yale’s newest landmark, with its soaring glass facade and blue classroom pods. The campus’s striking appearance is a reflection of its ambitious purpose: to enhance the effectiveness of Yale SOM’s programs and extend the reach and influence of the school’s mission. The building was designed around the distinctive, integrated Yale SOM approach to business education, from its first impression of transparency and unity down to such details as the placement of classroom desks to facilitate open discussion. The campus enables faculty, students, and other members of our community to bring the SOM mission to life. Come see it first-hand, on a tour led by Associate Director of Event Operations, Bradley Bower.

  Note: Tour is limited to 20 participants. Bus transportation provided in front of Sheffield-Sterling Strathcona Hall, 1 Prospect St., across from Woolsey Hall.
