Alumni Council NewsGreetings from your Alumni Council! Although the full Council meets on campus every October and March, we stay connected with alumni, students, and faculty between meetings in many other ways. One wonderful Council initiative to engage the broader Swarthmore community is SwatTalks, a series of one-hour webinars featuring professors, students, and alumni sharing knowledge and experience in their fields. Upcoming SwatTalks, which will run from 9 to 10 p.m. ET, include: Oct. 29: “The Importance of a Learning Mindset,” with Phil Weiser ’90, attorney general of Colorado Nov. 20: “Black Women & the Carceral State,” with Erin Corbett ’99, director of policy at Katal Center for Health, Equity, and Justice Dec. 12: “Housing is Healthcare, Homeless Solutions,” with Josh Green ’92, lieutenant governor of Hawaii Council has received great feedback on SwatTalks and is working hard to plan even more fantastic webinars in the upcoming year. To register, suggest a panelist, or learn more, visit swarthmore.edu/alumni-resources-events/swattalks. As always, if you have any questions about Alumni Council, please contact us at acpresident@swarthmore.edu. We look forward to seeing you around—both on campus and at a SwatTalk!
