Yale SOM Student Conference: FEMPIRE 2020: Running to Win

Fempire2020: Running to Win will bring together female leaders of business and politics for a day of candid, educational, and inspirational conversation. In this unique inflection point in America’s history and politics, it is more important than ever to galvanize a new generation of women to engage with their communities and take charge of their civic duty. We hope to demonstrate the myriad ways in which young women (and allies) can take part in the democratic process, and catalyze the change we hope to see in the U.S. and beyond.

Becton Fellowship Lecture. Richard V. Spencer, 76th Secretary of the Navy."Optimization, Decision Making, and Ethics."

In todays competitive environment leaders are continually analyzing the optimization of their enterprises. There are unintended by-products of continual optimization which can produce chains of events that can have detrimental effects on the organization. The Navy conducted multiple comprehensive reviews, and a constant theme evolved that impacted operational, managerial and ethical decision making which will be discussed in this session.

The First-Year Hot Takes event will have the first-years involved with the NACC community stand up in front of each other and present ANYTHING they are passionate about!

Subjects may include (but are not limited to): conspiracy theories about TV shows, survival tips for someone’s hometown, arguments for why we should adopt one’s unusual habits, etc. We hope to see you there!
