Description

We are teaming up with Connecticut Young Professionals to hold a Young Professionals Symposium to highlight topics of interest to young professionals at Yale and living in Connecticut.

The goals of our first Symposium are to provide opportunities for professional development, attract and retain young professionals to the state, and build a sense of community among our groups. We are excited to bring together both young professionals from across Connecticut, and state and community leaders, for an engaging and enriching conversation. Our confirmed speakers for the event include Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman, who will be giving the keynote presentation, as well as Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Congressman Jim Himes, Senator Toni Boucher, and Representative Gail Lavielle, who will be on our political panel.
