3:30PM - 5PM: Coping and Connecting MEETING LINK: https://yale.zoom.us/j/95982627108?pwd=ZlVRbXhZR21jQitJQThjcWNiN0lpUT09 Whether you have experienced loss, illness, career setbacks/uncertainty, relationship issues, infertility, or struggles related to being in the "sandwich generation," we have all faced challenges. We are cognizant of the full spectrum of circumstances and stresses people have experienced since our time at Yale and due Covid-19 and are sensitive to how this crisis has exacerbated differences and inequities. This is a chance to come together around our shared time at Yale and continued care for each other. It's a space for you to vent, console, share, listen--whatever feels right. This conversation will be led by our classmate Dr. Abigail Hawkins, a psychiatrist affiliated with NYU Medical Center.
5PM - 6PM: Residential College Happy Hours The smaller group size will let you see how weird everyone’s hair has gotten. Is it age, or is it COVID? The perfect excuse! Separate links will be sent and bring your beverage(s) of choice!
