The Yale Asian American Cultural Center (AACC) turns 40 this year! Join us on Wednesday, May 12th from 4:00-6:30pm EST for a virtual kick-off as we celebrate 40 years of the AACC serving as a dreaming and organizing space for Asian and Asian American Yalies. You’ll have an opportunity to hear from AACC students, administrators, alumni, and faculty as we reflect on our shared histories, the power of student activism, and discuss frameworks that will help us effectively respond to ongoing anti-Asian violence in the U.S.

Susan Abramson, Manager of Yale WorkLife and Child will provide of an overview of current child care resources and benefits available to Yale employees. There will be an opportunity to answer specific questions. The zoom link will be sent in advance of the session.

Join the Working Women’s Network and Yale Veterans Network for our monthly parenting check-in the second Wednesday of every month from 1:30-2:30 pm via Zoom. The check-ins serve as an opportunity for Yale community parents to check-in, share tips and tricks and concerns about our new normal of being parent(s), continued work responsibilities, and now the additional responsibility of homeschooling and managing the nuances of having babies and toddlers at home instead of daycare. The conversations are a safe space for us to positively communicate and learn and grow from each other.
