The alumni-led event will kick off with a brown-bag lunch discussion by Susan Screeton of Fidelity Investments, followed by various workshops, an alumni professionals panel discussion and Q & A, concluding with a reception and professional etiquette dinner, presented by Chris Case of the Mitchell Communications Group.
