Speed Networking with the Yale Class of '20
Serena Flaherty, '99, '06 MSN (Nursing), current member of the AYA Board of Governors, is working with the AYA staff and the Yale College Sophomore class to organize a speed networking event for students in New Haven on
Thursday, January 25th at
6:30pm. They are looking for three more
alums connected to medicine, law, and/or finance or corporate business, though anyone is welcome.
Below are event details:
The "speed networking" process is fast-paced but simple. The alum is seated at a table with 6-8 students to talk about careers, career changes, interview skills or job seeking, among other career topics. Every 10 minutes, the alumni shifts to a new table to engage in another set of conversations with a different group of students. Following a few rounds of these exchanges, the evening will end with an opportunity for refreshments and social networking. It's meant to be fun for everyone in a relaxed setting. The students (and alumni) who participated in the last few events really enjoyed it.
If you are available and interested in participating in this event or a future networking event, please contact Serena at [email protected].

YANA and the SOM Philanthropy Conference, New Haven
Friday, February 23rd
For the first time ever, YANA will be hosting a networking session at the annual student-sponsored
SOM Philanthropy Conference.
The conference focus this year is
ADAPTIVE PHILANTHROPY, RESILIENT SECTOR: Today's environment of social and political turbulence has acute consequences for nonprofits. Organizations' access to resources and the rights of the communities they serve are increasingly at risk. At the same time, this environment is also motivating citizens to take action, and prompting funders to think more carefully about how best to respond to the needs of at risk communities. In this environment of rapid change and uncertainty, nonprofits and funders must focus on how to keep the sector not only resilient but also increasingly effective in spite of these external challenges.
The lunch session will comprise a series of themed rooms, each filled with eight tables for separate discussions lead by experts about how the conference theme relates to their industry.
We are still looking for a few more
YANA members from several different professions to represent the group and speak with SOM students about their positions and careers in the nonprofit sector.
