 Summer Networking Events at Albers 

This summer there will be two networking events with students, alumni and friends of the Albers School of Business and Economics.  These events should present a great opportunity to meet and mingle with business students both from Albers and the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. 

Albers Alumni Happy hour 

The first event is on Aug. 3 at 4:30pm at Palomino’s in downtown Seattle.  Alumni, students and friends of Albers will be at a happy hour to meet and greet each other.  I went to one of these events about a year ago, and was very impressed with the turnout and the people that I met.  Remember, this networking event isn’t for MBA’s only, but for all students and alumni associated with Albers.  Bring business cards and an appetite for good conversation.

Cross-School Event 

The Albers Graduate Student Association (AGSA) was contacted by a fellow evening MBA student at the University of Washington.  She was interested in organizing a networking event for all MBA students in Seattle, and wanted to get SU involved.  AGSA felt this would be a unique opportunity for students from other programs to come together and share what we’ve learned.  We hope to make this an ongoing relationship.  Some ideas for the fall have been for a joint tailgate at a UW game, and events before (or after) the annual SU/UW basketball game.  For now we have a social event planned for mid Aug. where we will be able to meet with some drinks and light appetizers.  Come and bring ideas for future events!  No need to RSVP, just show up.
