What We’re Excited About

Time to rest, recharge, and celebrate

Thank you for being you! We are so grateful for your partnership and your support of Yale SOM students. Cheers to an incredible 2023 and to an even better 2024 ahead!

The Happiness Lab

While you are resting, recharging, and celebrating, infuse a little extra happiness into the start of the new year with this podcast by Dr. Laurie Santos, professor of the most popular class in Yale University’s 300-year history! 


CDO Tip

Stay connected with the Yale SOM community over winter break

Yale University, including CDO | Closed: December 22, 2023 – January 1, 2024

Even when the CDO team is offline, the resume books are open 24 hours a day! To reach students about a newly added engagement opportunity while the CDO is closed for winter recess, access resume books via 12twenty and email students directly with the information. 

Yale University reopens January 2 and the CDO team will be back to approve and market new roles, events, and interviews submitted over the break – or connect with you on Spring 2024 recruiting strategy and beyond.

Students | Academic Break: December 20, 2023 – January 15, 2024 Feel free to schedule engagements or interviews during the academic break, but keep in mind that students may be traveling or in different time zones, so response times may be slower and advance notice is appreciated!
