Join the Asian Network at Yale, Working Women’s Network, Yale African American Affinity Group, and Yale Veterans Network for an interactive workshop about finding your career match with Adrienne Lucas.
During this workshop, we will uncover your personal strengths, passions, and abilities and use them as a guide to ‘Finding Your Career Match.’ Over the course of 60 minutes, we will discuss questions to ask during job interviews, red and green flags to look out for during the hiring process, and the impact of ‘chasing the money’.
Topography is central to William Hogarth’s canonical progress series, in which London settings play a decisive narrative role. Lesser-known works by the artist, however, also engage with topographical representation. Pierre Von-Ow’s online exhibition “William Hogarth’s Topographies” considers the artist’s illustrations of national and colonized geographies beyond the metropole. Among international topographical views are Hogarth’s illustrations of Sápmi in the Scandinavian north, referred to at the time as “Lapland.”
During this discussion, you’ll learn facts about mental illness, as well as some of the myths about mental illness that persist in our culture. Topics explored in this discussion include definitions of mental illness; the importance of obtaining a diagnosis; representations of mental illness in popular culture (and how they can help or harm); and perceptions of mental health care in the US. Join DiversAbility at Yale for a discussion with David Sasso and Tracy MacMath. This event is open to the Yale community and will be recorded.

The Elder Honoring is an annual tradition and trademark of the Juneteenth Coalition of Greater New Haven. Each honoree is selected to be part of this revered ceremony that recognizes the work, accomplishments, and dedication of unsung members of the black community. Such persons usually go undetected, unappreciated and unrecognized by the very people they serve and fight for. We, the JCGNH, honor them, put them on the pedestal they deserve to be placed upon and pronounce their position of eldership.
