As the recession places strain on the nation’s job market, the Graduate School and its academic departments are rolling out new strategies to help Yale’s graduate students win more professorships and postdoctoral appointments. Tactics and job placement strategies vary by department, as do job placement rates, but Graduate Career Services is set to launch a second...
For many Americans, the idea of another round of bailout money for the auto industry is the last straw. Enough! After all, if Sweden — the socialist land of 55 percent tax rates — could slam the car door in Saab’s face when it requested bailout money, maybe the U.S. should realize the socialist tag it has recently been earning itself is not quite so funny...
"Sassy reporter" Lauren Rosenthal took on a new challenge this past weekend: a casting call to become the new face of Elm City fashion. Adrienne Sharpe , a 32-year-old New Haven resident and employee of Yale’s Beinecke Library, spent an unusually warm and sunny Saturday afternoon in a warehouse next to the abandoned Cosi storefront, waiting for her turn to...
In a year in which the economic recession has made finding summer jobs more difficult than usual, Yale’s Bulldogs Across America internship program is nonetheless struggling to fill positions. The number of applications to Bulldogs Across America positions so far is lower than the total at a comparable point last year, Undergraduate Career Services Director Phil Jones...
The Au Bon Pain on the corner of Elm and Broadway may be a popular place for Elis to gather over a meal, but a new Yale study says that few actually bother to access nutritional information about the food they purchase there. Earlier this month, Yale researchers from the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity released the results of an observational study conducted at...
After years of putting in 20-hour days and sleeping only when it was convenient, PepsiCo Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer Indra Nooyi SOM ’80 said at a Pierson College Master’s Tea on Friday that she has effectively worked for the equivalent of 160 years. Climbing to the top of the corporate ladder at PepsiCo has been a “rough ride,” Nooyi said, especially...
Three shops down from an empty storefront on a quiet Whitney Avenue, the yellow sign above Anna Liffey’s was still lit Tuesday night — as were many of the revelers inside the pub’s red and black doors. At the restaurant and bar’s weekly trivia night, diners noshed on French fries and sipped their beers while a voice echoed over a loudspeaker. Trivia answers in...
A mode of transportation characteristic of the Big Apple will find a home this summer in the Elm City: pedicabs. Yale Cycling Team member Jongwook “Wookie” Kim ’09 plans to establish a pedicab business — tricycles fashioned into carriage-like cabs — in New Haven, an idea born from a class project last semester in which students were given a $50,000 hypothetical...
Despite a recent rise in its popularity that is being attributed to the flailing economy, fast food may not be as cost-efficient as some people believe. Though higher-end restaurants have taken a hit in recent months, fast-food joints have recently posted rising sales figures; McDonald’s reported a 1.4 percent uptick in February sales and Burger King is expected to...
During Career Month in kindergarten, our teacher told us to go home, ask our parents what they did for a living and present at show-and-tell the next day. “Mommy, what do you do at your job?” I asked her that night. My corporate-banker mother proceeded to give me an inspired — if ambitious — explanation of debt and repossession by analogy: “Well, you know how...
In the face of nationwide drops in book sales, the Yale University Press is contemplating changes to its business model. As university presses struggle to combat a downturn brought on by the economic recession, the Yale University Press has also seen its revenues fall, but by slightly less than the industry average of 10 percent. Yale University Press Director John...
With tentative business plans close to completion, but only a small fraction of the necessary funds raised, Mory’s restaurant will aim to reopen its doors this fall, Mory’s Board of Governors President Christopher Getman ’64 said Thursday.
