A2A: Alumni-to-Alumni 

They are hosting a lunchtime career panel discussion on  Saturday, June 3rd and are looking for alumni who started in a traditional career that they thought they "should" pursue, but who had a vision of something better and pivoted towards approaching work and life with more meaning and purpose.

On June 7, 2017, from 6-8 pm YANA New England will be sponsoring a Summer Welcome for Yale Students interested in and/or working in the social sector, and who are recent Yale grads or current Yale students interning in the Boston area.

YANA New England events are focused around learning, knowledge transfer, career advancement, and network building in the social sector--and this event will be particularly so!  
  • As part of the event, we will be having a short panel of Yale alums working in the social impact sector.  The focus of the panel will be: The Social Impact Sector--New Challenges, New Opportunities.  We are seeking 3-4 alumni/ae volunteers with experience in the social impact sector who would be interested in sharing their perspectives on topics like: 
    • How the field is evolving;
    • How today's external environment and political climate are impacting organizations and their stakeholders; and 
    • How recent grads and interns might take advantage of these changes to build their experience and accelerate their careers.
       
  • Please email us ASAP at newengland@yalenonprofitalliance.org if you are interested in being on the panel.   
NEW: YANA-New England Public Health Forum

If you are interested in helping plan a series of programs under the umbrella topic of "public health," contact Emily Dally '12 MPH at emily.i.dally@gmail.com to be added to the working group.  More information to come.  

Proposed upcoming program topics include: 
  • The Opioid Crisis in New England
  • Implications of the Unfolding New U.S. Healthcare Plan 
  • Global Health Initiatives in Developing Countries

See you at the next YANA-New England event!
