Have you ever looked at people on campus and thought, ‘What’s their story?’ Each member of our community—Yale students, faculty, staff, and alumni—has a story to tell (one more fascinating than the next).

Be a part of our first Belonging at Yale My Story event, where you’ll meet four people whose stories might surprise and intrique you. Kimberly Goff-Crews, secretary, and vice president for university life at Yale, will lead the discussion.

Send in questions for the group before the event.

Join the conversation on Wednesday, March 8, 2022, from noon – 1:00 p.m., when you’ll hear from:
