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.
