Networking Opportunity This Friday!

This Friday there will be 7 Beyond the Commons Dinners. Beyond the Commons is a dinner series where an alumni host or hosts take a group of students out to dinner. The conversation is usually centered around a specific topic or theme. It's a great opportunity to network and meet alumni. Everyone will meet in the Kane Forum of Leahy Hall (2nd Floor) by 6 p.m. You will then walk to your restaurant with your alumni host(s) and fellow students. If you would like to attend a dinner please e-mail Alex Maier at alexandra.maier@scranton.edu by Wednesday.
