Students visited 21 wellestablished alumni at their Manhattan offices and heard about their experiences going from students to top executives. The event was designed to inspire students to jumpstart their careers by beginning to build their professional networks.

Students heard from the alumni about their experiences, positions and industries and took tours of their offices. They were given advice and were able to ask alumni questions.
