“Supporting rigorous research is a core part of our mission. When SOM helps put scholars in dialogue, the SOM community and broader society stand to benefit.”

Yale SOM Dean Kerwin K. Charles reflecting on the Cowles Foundation Summer Conferences, which convened leading economic scholars for a week of events at Evans Hall

Finance recruiting was new to me, and the learning curve was steep. What stood out was the level of support from my peers. Second-year leaders took time to provide guidance, and we first-years constantly helped each other. This experience reinforced what makes SOM unique: even in a competitive recruiting environment, there’s a culture of paying it forward and helping one another succeed.
