Finding opportunities for students to engage with alumni is one of the main goals of the Washington University Alumni Association. Last June, the Alumni Association joined forces with the Career Center to host networking parties around the country. Students were able to network with young alumni (ages 35 and under) and gain insight into various fields. Summer parties took place in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C.
