#1 Tea with Trum-Alum Josh Levs : Tuesday, Oct. I urge anyone who anticipates that he or she will marry and have children, anyone interested in gender equity, as well as aspiring journalists and authors to attend.

You, as current Trumbull students are not at the parenting stage yet! You’re worrying about papers and exams and jobs now but time passes swiftly and these are issues about which to think for the long run. He will speak about his book and his journalistic and parenting experiences tomorrow.

Josh Levs is a journalist and author who has written a book on the importance of men contributing to child care. In that regard, a Tea featuring a Trumbull Alumnus, Josh Levs, to be held in the house tomorrow is very relevant. A part of that discussion focused on life-work balance and what it takes for women to succeed, including issues of childcare. She questioned why it is that women are well-represented among our undergraduates and among our graduate students but not well represented among our tenured faculty and not well represented at the top of many professions nor among Yale’s major donors. The final topic about which Marta spoke was about the status women at Yale and beyond. I’m grateful to Marta for the time she spent at Trumbull and for her passion. on Friday to travel to Singapore with a Yale delegation to celebrate the official opening of Yale-NUS. She spoke at length and well into the evening despite having to rise at 5 a.m. She spoke of her own path to Yale and of her career, she spoke of increasing diversity at Yale, she spoke of the kinds of support we need to provide to insure the success of all students at Yale. Last Thursday evening Marta Moret, director of a public health consulting agency and spouse of Yale’s President Peter Salovey spoke to our Trumbull Fellows in the House.
