JAN is back on campus and ready to mix things up!

Join us for a fireside chat with alumni who've been where you are and made it to the other side — real talk on networking, navigating early career moments and what they wish they'd known.

Then we'll mix, mingle and make connections. Snacks and drinks will be served.

Tolleah Price '11, Senior Director, Global Communications, Hilton

Collin Berglund ‘11, Head of Digital & Managing Director, Rational 360
