PANELS

Beyond the M.D.

This panel looks at the possibilities beyond the operating room. To most of us, as students, being a doctor has a very narrow meaning; one that is filled with hard work, long nights, and plenty of school. YLS wants to show you the other side of being a doctor. We have panelists that have used their medical influence and knowledge to propel them in new arenas. These panelists have taken the organic chemistry classes of today and are influencing tomorrow's worlds of media, politics, and the arts.

Beyond Student Life

Graduation: the one word on every student's mind. From newly initiated freshman to seasoned seniors everyone is thinking about their final day of education. As we move on, to the next chapter in our lives and leave today’s difficulties, we think what are the challenges of tomorrow? From finding your first job, to understanding the competition of graduate school, this panel with alter your view on life beyond undergrad.

Beyond Your Wallet

Today's financial world is undeniably intimidating. The media constantly bombards us with news about damaged and broken companies, huge financial loses, and government bailouts. Where did it all begin? This panel will look at the recession from a student standpoint on how it is affecting our job prospects. The panelists will discuss how students should approach this new financial time and how we can take today’s economic crisis and turn it into an advantage for our financial future.

Beyond Wall Street

Today's biggest business resource is outsourcing. The ability to send jobs overseas not only keeps prices low but can also better the product. When it really comes down to it, is it cheaper to outsource the product or just the whole company? Moving ahead in business may mean moving abroad, so what does that mean for the future of business students today?

Beyond Politics

Change. There have been very few times in history that one word has been able to mobilize so many people. As we welcome in a new president we need to look at our lives in the next four years. Therefore, it's time we really ask ourselves what we are doing to have our voice heard, and how are we making sure that we are taking care of in this new era of politics?

Beyond Culture

Home, family, career, education, social life - these are all aspects of our lives, but where does our culture fit in? Until this point, most of us have been happy with the balance we've achieved between our ethnic identity and all other facets of life. Yet, is there a point where we have to lose more of ourselves just to keep up? Do careers call for a more secular point of view where cultural stand points are "inappropriate" or "too personal"?
