We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our alumni guests, David Gopie ’00, Dianne Morales ’93, Dominic Cathey ’15, Eri Noguchi ’93, Jewel Mack ’92, Jillian Rose ’05, Kassandra Frederique ’10, Kenia Maldonado ’01, Kerron Norman ’02, Lisa Orbegoso ’05, Martine Baron ’98, Martinique Teperman, ’06, Micah Hasegawa ’15, Natalie Wright-Umoh ’03, Nathan Smith ’02, Trelan Holder ’06, and Walter Vega ’04, for taking time out of their evening to provide mentorship and support, as well as to our students who participated and helped make the event a great success!

Tips For Maximizing Your New Connections

  1. Send personalized thank you notes to the alumni you met, highlighting a specific tip you appreciated or insight you gained.
  2. Connect with them on LinkedIn, making sure to customize your request. Note that some alumni may prefer to keep their connections closed.
  3. If the alumni you spoke with offered to meet or chat again for one-on-one conversations, follow up on their offer with suggestions for potential dates, times, and locations that would accommodate their schedule.
  4. Keep in touch and update them on any developments resulting from their support. If you find articles or resources that may be of interest to them, pass them along! Remember, networking is a two-way street. The more you invest, the more you’ll get back.
