The admissions process can seem like a mysterious black box. Your application goes in one side and, a few weeks later, a decision comes out the other. At Yale, real people make decisions at every stage of review, and every student is admitted by a committee. Hannah and Mark walk through each step in an application’s journey from data download to initial review, area reading, second reading, and committee deliberation. They explain the “who” “what” and “how” of each stage. For a quick overview of Yale’s process visit https://admissions.yale.edu/step-by-step.

What can a close encounter with a nine-foot shark teach us about business, community, and the future?

At Grist’s recent 10th anniversary event of their 50 Fixers list, Steph explores what becomes possible when we choose collaboration over competition, build unlikely coalitions, and share value with the communities we serve. The same shift in perspective can change how we think about climate solutions, infrastructure, and even the stories we tell about the natural world.

Because the goal isn’t simply to survive. It’s to create a future where we can thrive together — by caring for one another, being good neighbors, and, instead of swimming away from each other, swimming toward each other.
