Dwight Hall Summer Update!

Hi Dwight Hall!

I hope you are all enjoying your vacations and continuing your work in service and social justice where ever you are, all over the world.

If you missed commencement, I'd like to direct your attention to an excelent speech made by a former Dwight Hall Co-coordinator, Bradford Williams: "Why We Serve".

When you are envisioning the upcoming year, if you think you might like to make more room for service in your life at Yale, and are looking to join a Dwight Hall group, find the group that best fits your interest here: Dwight Hall Match.

If you are like me, and like to plan ahead, please check out our "Save the Date" events below.

Hope all is well,

Joe

Charity Metrics, Student Executive Director Needed

Charity Metrics, a startup charity evaluation organization, founded by Jeremy Kahan (MC 04) is seeking a student executive director to manage the organization on a day to day basis. With over 1.8 million non-profit organizations, knowing how to maximize impact with your donation is nearly impossible. Charity Metrics seeks to address this issue by moving beyond administrative expense ratios as the primary measuring stick of performance. Donors need operational data such as cost per pound for local food banks or cost per operation for cleft pallet organizations to evaluate effectiveness.
