What is CARE?

The Council on Anti-Racism and Equity (CARE) includes representatives from the school's faculty, students, alumni, and staff. It advises the dean and provides a mechanism for communication of needs and issues to the school's senior leadership. It focuses on the action areas of inclusive community, academics and classroom culture, and representation.

In a message to the Yale SOM community on May 19, 2022, Dean Kerwin K. Charles announced the upcoming launch of two new initiatives created and developed by CARE:

• The Donald H. Ogilvie '78 Colloquium: A high-impact speaker series that will bring underrepresented professionals of color regularly to campus to visit and engage with the SOM community.
• Who CARES About That?: A video podcast series with episodes focused on issues of anti-racism and equity, created and run by all members of all segments of the SOM community—students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
