Yale Alumni Academy and Harvard Alumni Travels have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty and alumni to address the leading climate change issues facing our planet. With eight presentations taking place over three weeks, we offer alumni participants interactive lectures and discussion sessions designed to inform, educate and expand your thinking on this important topic. Our Climate Change Conversations series coincides with the United Nations COP2 Conference taking place in Glasgow this November and features several speakers who will also address that conference.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join the Yale Latino Networking Group and Working Women’s Network for salsa dancing and a beer cocktail tasting with Alisa Bowens-Mercado. No prior experience is required. We look forward to seeing you on the virtual dance floor!

Alisa Bowens-Mercado is the Founder, CEO, and Brewmaster of Rhythm Brewing Co. Affectionately known as “Lady Lager”, she made history by becoming the first African-American, woman-owned beer brand in the state of Connecticut (4th in the Country).

The 2021 Global Environmental Justice Conference at the Yale School of the Environment will focus on a just green recovery. As we emerge from the pandemic into the reality of climate disruption, it is clear that restarting the economy cannot mean a return to the status quo. Instead, leaders in government and policy, NGO’s, universities, the private sector, and grassroots coalitions have a pronounced opportunity to rethink how we live.

Yale Schwarzman Center invites you to participate in a virtual information session. Come learn who we are, what our vision for the Center is, what types of programming you can expect. Bring your curiosity, too – there will be a Q&A in which members of the YSC team will answer your questions!

This season, we invite you to a two day workshop on the topic of healing spaces. With the growing need for more therapeutic, spiritual, wellness, and restorative justice spaces, where do we begin to find our way in personal and collective healing?
