One of the things I love about SOM is the constant flow of really interesting people who come to school to speak to students, participate in classes and conferences, and generally contribute to the ongoing discourse here on campus. These past few weeks especially, it seems as though there has been a lot of activity at SOM in terms of visitors and speakers. (more…)
“It’s cold… but Spring is not far behind.”
I overheard a woman say this at the Yale Health Center; it sounded so hopeful compared to my usual drip about the weather. I looked up some pictures from last Spring, to remind myself that the weather will, yes, get warmer.
I took these last Spring, on my walk home from school–just as the buds were cracking open the barren branches.
All I have to say is that my class is full of rockstars! For those who don’t know, the Internship Fund raises money to help provide salaries for students going into nonprofit/public sector internships. This is one of the central components of the SOM community. SOM was the first school to have a program like this in 1979. This being the 30th anniversary, we had to have a really good time.
We have had a spat of warm days. Breaking 40F, don’t get too excited–nevertheless, it has reminded me that, unbelievably, Spring will come eventually. We are reaching the time of year when second years are starting to think of re-entering the real world, post May, and, first years are starting to assume more leadership in the school. (more…)
