Happy holidays from the Jackson School! ❄️
Please note that most @Yale offices and departments, including @yalejacksonschool, will be closed from Dec. 24, 2024 through Jan. 1, 2025.
Every fall, @Yale global affairs majors in their senior year complete a capstone project, gaining hands-on public policy experience by working for clients across the U.S. and abroad. Throughout the semester, students work with the client to formulate the project, meet once a week with their faculty instructor, and take an immersive trip to the location of their client. The projects cover a wide range of global issues — from public health to immigration to technology — and bring students to countries in Europe, South America, the Middle East and more.
Jackson School grad students took a well-deserved break from finals this week to have lunch, decorate cookies, and celebrate the holidays!
Thanks to @yalejacksonschool lecturer and @ourradiantearth exec director Jed Sundwall for leading a thought-provoking discussion yesterday on the concept of “Internet Power.”
He was joined by Lynn Overmann, executive director at the Beeck Center at Georgetown University and former senior advisor for delivery within the US Digital Service, and Macon Phillips, founder of Starling Strategies and former director of digital strategy for the White House.
The talk was co-sponsored by the Blue Center for Global Strategic Assessment, the Deitz Family Initiative on Environment and Global Affairs, and the Yale Environmental Data Science Initiative.

“We’re headed into four years where the democratic world will be surrounded by a ring of fire, led by countries who are unsatisfied with the current world order,” said Victoria Nuland, former undersecretary of state for political affairs and U.S. ambassador to NATO in an Oct. 30 discussion at @yalejacksonschool
“The way we manage that — whether we can enlarge the democratic community or whether autocrats grow or strengthen — is really what’s at stake.”
