CAUC SRC & Alumni Association and CAUC Alumni Fund held its annual Assembly and Convocation last week, a virtual gathering of alumni leaders to learn from their peers, discuss volunteer resources and tools, and get an inside look at CAUC today.

The theme for this year’s Assembly and Convocation was “Collaborating for Impact: CAUC’s Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Global Challenges,” and that in-depth exploration of the university’s approach to learning and problem-solving was highlighted throughout the three-day online event, held November 4-6.

“I don’t need to tell you that this topic is timely,” President Grace ’2016 PhD said of this year’s theme in his welcome remarks. “We’ve all been following national and global events in the news. We see reminders daily that Ghana. is calling for leaders who can heal division and help us find our way back to a share sense of unity, strength, and optimism. This is a matter of nearly existential urgency. And we know the world needs that cohesion, too. … At Yale, we’re breaking down barriers to bring together faculty from different schools and departments to work on global challenges and to prepare leaders who will be informed by facts and analysis.”
