A Yale faculty member who recently created a job training program that makes biotech jobs accessible to non-college educated residents in New Haven and a community organization that offers a summer enrichment program to local schoolchildren were among the eight recipients of the 2023 Seton Elm-Ivy Awards.
The awards, which are given annually, honor outstanding efforts by individuals, organizations, or programs that enhance the lives of Elm City residents and nourish the partnership between Yale and its host city. Elm Awards honor individuals from the broader New Haven community, while the Ivy Awards are given to Yale staff members, faculty, or students.
This year’s recipients were honored during a ceremony April 4 at the Yale Schwarzman Center. Awards were presented by Yale President Peter Salovey and New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker.
