The Education Club’s mission is engage all students interested in education through a combination of events, career support, and community. The Club seeks to meet these goals by:
1) hosting dynamic events, panels, or speakers related to topics in education,
2) supporting the career search of students in the education industry alongside the CDO, and
3) create a community space to discuss passions in education and support peer members.
The club also seeks to provide opportunities for students to volunteer in local education institutions and organize fundraisers to support education initiatives in the New Haven community.
Our 50-plus student clubs are an integral part of the Yale SOM community. Clubs provide forums for discussion and opportunities for action, and they foster students’ leadership and business skills via consulting engagements, workshops, roundtables, conferences, and fundraisers. SOM clubs are inclusive networks open to all students to participate as identifying members or as active allies.
The goals of the education club are aligned with the mission. In this year in particular the club will aim to have a larger presence on campus, as the Education Leadership Conference will not continue. This provides an opportunity for students interested in education to create those panels, discussions, and events on campus. Additionally, the club will try to build a lasting relationship with The Broad Center at SOM, to ensure access exists for MBA students interested in education, and to provide the best integrated experience for participants of the Broad program, as well. Lastly, the club seeks to be responsive to its members, and adjust events, recruiting, and community based on their needs.
