Storytelling for Impact: Harnessing the Power of Arts, Media, and Culture

October 20, 2022 • Los Angeles, CA

About the Program

Stories hold power—the power to move us, to educate us, to shift our perspective, and spur us to action. Storytelling is at the heart of the work of Yale faculty and alumni in fields such as film and television, computer animation, costume design, public health advocacy, and musical composition, to name just a few.

On October 20, more than 400 members of the Yale community in southern California gathered at Warner Bros. Studios for an enlightening exploration of the many ways stories can be told, who has the opportunity to tell them, and the impact they have on humanity.
