    Cap & Gown: Season 6 | Episode 11: Becoming an Illuminator

    In this episode of Cap & Gown, we explore the power of becoming an Illuminator. Inspired by ideas from "How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen," we examine how shifting from a “danger brain” to a connection mindset changes the way we advise, teach, and lead. From nonverbal cues and mirroring to generous listening and active curiosity, we unpack the postures that communicate belonging before a single word is spoken.

    Cap & Gown: Season 6 | Episode 9: State of the Union + Unveiling our 2026 Theme & Book 📱

    As society leans further into efficiency and automation, such as AI, it is important to recognize the one skill that AI cannot create: person-to-person connections. The theme for this year explores how to create conditions that allow humans to genuinely know one another. Join us for this year's Cap & Gown as we explore the theme of PRESENCE, guided by the book "How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen" by David Brooks, to help inform our discussions.
