It's a good bet no one's life has turned out exactly as they'd imagined when they graduated from Yale. Or if it has, it's most likely involved some interesting twists and turns along the way. Come listen to your classmates talk about the unexpected paths their personal and professional lives have taken over the last 25 years in a panel moderated by David Kramer.
Peter May has gone from the hills of Vermont to the shores of Lebanon, living and lawyering in the heart of the Arab Spring.
From twelve hour days to school lunch trays: how one dissatisfied lawyer quit her job and found her passion. Bettina Elias will talk about starting over at 40, becoming an "accidental activist," and tangling with the beef industry over the dreaded "pink slime."
Journalist, screenwriter, book publisher and—several decades later than planned—novelist. Bronwen Hruska will read from her forthcoming book, Accelerated, which only sort of fictionally examines how one's life can turn out not at all as planned.
From a bad dream one night in college to becoming a Yahoo, from a NYC taxi ride to writing about Garbage Trucks, author and speaker David Pollay talks about how he has helped people find happiness.
