New Career Series for Dalton Young Alums Launches

The Alumni Council Dalton Connects Committee and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee launched our new Virtual Dalton Connects: Young Alumni Career Perspective Series in early 2022. These small group conversations provide young alums with an opportunity to seek advice and learn about others’ experiences. Most sessions are recorded and posted on the School’s website under the Resources Page in the Dalton OnDemand section. Please email alumni@dalton.org if you’re interested in sharing your expertise with young Alums at a future session.

Graduate School: Alumni Council Member and DEI Committee Chair Wynter Lastarria ’11 was the first speaker and host of this new series in February 2022. She discussed the process of applying to graduate school and deciding whether this is the right choice for individuals.
