Last night, #YaleJackson alumni from the classes of 1990 to 2025 gathered with newly admitted students, World Fellows, and faculty for a reception with Baroness Theresa May, who has taught at Jackson as a #BlueCenter senior fellow. A Q&A moderated by Jackson dean Jim Levinsohn ranged from climate to geopolitics to the future of global institutions. The Jackson community abroad is truly something special. 🇬🇧🥂 #YaleJackson #Yale @yale @yalealumni @yalealumnimag @yaleworldfellows @theresamay @rorystewartuk ... 83 0 yalejacksonschool View Instagram post by yalejacksonschool Apr 27 Open post by yalejacksonschool with ID 17855013510643690 🌤️ Sun, food, and good company.

Throughout their time at Yale, the Fellows inspired the @yale, #YaleJackson, and #NewHaven communities, mentored students, and supported one another with generosity and purpose. On December 9, we were proud to mark their achievements at a closing ceremony celebrating their leadership and impact. “We must not succumb to cynicism,” said Emma Sky, Director of the Yale International Leadership Center. “What the world needs now is not more despair, but more vision… leaders who can stretch our imagination of what is possible — and inspire good people to act.” Remarks were offered by Sky, Aleena Gul ’26, the World Fellows Program’s longtime Student Ambassador, and Fellow Wei Xing. Once a Fellow, always a Fellow. 💙 #YaleWorldFellows #GlobalLeadership #LeadershipInAction #InternationalLeadership ... 72 1 yalejacksonschool View Instagram post by yalejacksonschool Dec 8 Open post by yalejacksonschool with ID 18036305675521933 🌍 Yale students had the rare opportunity to meet two former heads of state and attend the launch of our #YaleJackson`s new Democracy Dialogues series.
