YC&E Event Profiles

Event Description: This virtual program honored the late Professor Charles Hill and explored his contributions to the study and practice of statecraft, diplomacy, and grand strategy. Virtual sessions featured personal reflections from Dr. Henry Kissinger, along with other distinguished diplomats, professors, and Charlie’s former students, many of whom are now exceptional academics and practitioners themselves.

Event Description: The Yale Cyber Leadership Forum focuses on bridging the divide between law, technology and business in cybersecurity, exposing participants to effective approaches to recognizing, preparing for, preventing, and responding to cyber threats. The Forum brings together a diverse set of thought leaders, including practitioners from leading law firms, cybersecurity technology experts, policy experts and academics working at the cutting edge of cybersecurity. The 2021 Forum, “Bridging the Divide: Sovereignty in Cyberspace?”, was a seven-part series of virtual discussions exploring how state and non-state actors increasingly use cyberspace to influence and interfere in the domestic affairs of other countries and their citizens.

Event Description: The Multicultural Open House is usually a one-day-event, allowing for prospective students to visit campus. This year, the open house was turned into a two-week online event providing students an opportunity to still experience Yale’s cultural centers, student groups, academic opportunities, and resource centers, through panels, performances, and showcases. This year’s Multicultural Open House included an open house hosted by each of Yale’s four cultural centers, a student performance group showcase, live remarks from Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid Jeremiah Quinlan, and a discussion of resources for first-generation and low-income students hosted by The Community Initiative. Due to the widespread availability of a virtual event, the 2020 Multicultural Open House nearly quadrupled the student attendance turnout from 2019.

Course topics can include everything from decision-making in healthcare deliveries, design of clinical trials, to prediction and control of infectious disease outbreaks.
