VIRTUAL: The Technological Fix: Presence, Absence, and the Limits of Telemedicine
Few physicians or patients have not been affected by the sudden expansion of telemedicine in the past year, which ballooned into mainstream clinical practice in 2020 as a technological patch laid over the holes in healthcare access caused by the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet even though telemedicine may feel like an useful if uncomfortably new medium to most practitioners or patients today, the theory and practice of this “medicine at a distance” were laid out more than five decades ago.

IMPACT 2: Writing For Change: The Power of the Op-ed
Something bugs you. Excites you. Compels you to act. But how? How do you share your expertise or passion about a topic and try to change the world or, at least, the way some people think?
In this workshop, we’ll discuss how to get your voice onto the page and your ideas onto the national stage. We’ll cover the key components of great opinion essays, the best way to approach an outlet, working with an editor, and review a few attendees’ pieces. (Pieces of no more than 750 words need to be submitted by March 8 and will be selected by the workshop leader.)
VIRTUAL: IMPACT 2: How to Tell Your Story In Your Voice
Stories are powerful communication tools that can connect us and move us to action. Participants in this workshop will gain a basic understanding of the science of storytelling and what to consider when creating a story. We will then use Marshall Ganz’s model to help all participants draft a short “story of self.”
VIRTUAL: IMPACT 2: The Fine Art of Listening
In today’s busy and often contentious world, listening is as important an art as making yourself heard. This workshop provides the tools and skills to make you a better listener and help you practice effective listening skills. Encounter fewer misunderstandings, resolve more conflicts, and be more impactful by learning how to truly listen.

Yale-Aided Design: The Work of Female Architecture Graduates
Architecture at Yale University was born into the Yale School of the Fine Arts in 1879, but Yale did not have its first women graduates in architecture until the late 1940s. They have been few amongst their male peers and Yale leaders until recent years.
