The University’s Student Alumni Relations Board is hosting an alumni-student networking event Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the EMU Fir Room for students to eat dinner and mingle with successful University alumni.
“Connect the Ducks,” will host roughly 20 alumni from many professions, including the president of a Portland marketing firm, the regional president of Bank of America, a supervising U.S. probation officer, a journalist and the corporate sales manager from the Portland Trail Blazers.
“Students can ask for advice, they can get career advice, they can make a connection that could be valuable somewhere down the line,” said event coordinator and undergraduate Adam Ohlson. “It’s a great opportunity for UO students. It’s something to do, and I’m sure it will help them out in the long run.”
Students who wish to attend must register by no later than Monday at www.sarb.duckalumni.org. The event costs $5 and includes dinner.
