The Office of Medical Education and the Office of Diversity, Inclusion, Community Engagement, and Equity (DICE) are hosting a panel discussion with community leaders about Greater New Haven, its history, and how issues such as housing, education, safety, job opportunities, and the environment impact the health and well-being of its residents. Through this discussion, it is our hope that students can better understand Yale’s relationship with Greater New Haven and how they can most meaningfully contribute to the New Haven community, in their role as health professional students as well as residents of the city.

Students, staff, faculty, and other Yale affiliates are welcome to attend. Dinner will be provided.

Date and Time: Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023, from 5:30 – 7:00 pm

Location: Harkness Auditorium (333 Cedar St). Please note the location was changed from SHML-115.
