Format:  Alumni will be assigned to a specific table with one or two other alumni from a similar field.  During each round table session, students will select a table based on their career interests.  The table of approximately seven students and two to three alumni will share an informal conversation based on students' questions and alumni experiences.  Topics may range from discovering career interests to interviewing tips to maintaining business relationships.  Three round table sessions will allow Alumni to interact with a number of students, which we hope will provide for a rewarding experience.
