An evening reception for alumni, held after the fall open day closes.
Final-year undergraduates and graduate students are invited alongside alumni, and the event is arranged around that rather than around alumni catching up with each other. Attendance is weighted toward people working in agencies, consultancies, industry and nonprofits in the region — the organizations current students are about to apply to.
There is no program. No speeches, no panel, no name badges colored by graduating year. Departmental staff are present to make introductions where they can be useful, and the recurring feedback is that this is the only part that needs organizing.
Attending
Alumni of any program and any year are welcome. Current final-year students attend free and should register through their department so that numbers are known.
Refreshments are provided. The reception is held in the Halloran Building atrium, which is fully accessible.
Anyone attending the open day earlier in the day is welcome to stay on. There is a gap between the two, and the campus coffee shop stays open.
