Career Network Moves Ahead with Fall Events
Recap: Four Cities, One Night
Alumni Relations and the Career Network involved several hundred alumni in recent regional receptions, all of which took place Oct. 5. Locations for the events were Seattle, Portland, Denver and the Bay Area (3 receptions).
Such a positive turnout bodes well for future regional events and teaches us something about Willamette alumni: They're everywhere!
Alumni interested in helping with future regional events should feel free to contact alumni relations at alumni@willamette.edu.
Career Fridays
Career Friday events are designed to help alumni in the active job search by providing timely information and networking opportunities. Career Fridays take place in the morning from 7 - 9 a.m. at the Portland campus of AGSM (1120 NW Couch, Suite 450).
