Setting Clear and Focused Goals for Professional and Personal Success TuftsAlumni 2023-05-26 | Featuring Arielle Sadan, Tufts alum and Executive Coach & Owner of Revel&Awe Date: February 28, 2023 "A goal without a plan is just a wish." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Join Arielle Sadan, Executive Coach and owner of Revel&Awe, to explore how to turn a wish into a real goal. There are many ways to think about and plan goals, and sometimes, the options can be overwhelming. How do we set goals? How do we accomplish them? What do we need to prioritize to make sure we can do it? How do we remember to put in the work? And, isn’t it just SO overwhelming to think about? Goal setting doesn’t need to feel so pressured. We’ll walk through one of the most common goal-setting frameworks in the workplace: OKRs, which stands for Objectives and Key Results. Using this framework, along with getting some clarity about what your priorities are for the year, we’ll define a few goals to tackle in the coming months and year. The goal is to help you feel more clear, grounded, and focused. Arielle Sadan loves identifying what makes people tick and figure out how to help them tick better; in other words, Arielle loves to help her clients learn how to become the best versions of themselves. As a certified professional coach, she specializes in helping early- and mid-level professionals develop their leadership skills, carve out fulfilling career paths, and live into their potential.

A Case of Multiple Identity Solving a Mystery TuftsAlumni 2022-07-26 | The Cape Cod Tufts Club invites alumni, parents, friends of Tufts and members of the Intercollegiate Alumni of Cape Cod and Islands and the general public, to help solve a puzzle that has roots that date back to the 1800’s!Our speaker, Professor/Dean Emeritus from Gallaudet University, Dr. David Martin, will present on a long-standing mystery that is near and dear to his heart. A mid-19th century ancestor seemed to have no identifiable parents, a very common name, and many possible options for what could be true. Starting with very little information, the investigator on the case pursued many avenues involving probates, divorce records, medical records, Native American archives, DNA and military pension records. The most important clue discovered? A Civil War Military Pension application from service in the Union Navy. This document, among other things, revealed a concussion this relative sustained from the cannons on the ironclad ship, the Monitor, as it battled with the South’s ironclad vessel, the Merrimack. Through many indirect "detective" leads and blind alleys, the enigma was finally solved with a variety of techniques that may help others to track down elusive ancestors.This event will be held via Zoom webinar. We look forward to “seeing” you there!About Dr. David S. Martin: David is Professor/Dean Emeritus from Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. He graduated from Yale with a B.A., holds a Master’s and Certificate of Advanced Study degrees from the Harvard School of Education, and the Ph.D. from Boston College. His interests involve genealogy, local history, astronomy, and the organ; he is the current Treasurer of the Yale Club of Cape Cod. He coordinated a Cape-wide Symposium in late 2020 on The Significance of Cape Cod in the Plimoth Colony, and will draw on that information for his presentation. He is married to Dr. Susan K. Martin, J63; they live in Marstons Mills.
