Chicago Alumni Dinner
Chicago Alumni Dinner
The annual Chicago Alumni Dinner is held during the EGL Chicago Trip and brings together students and alumni for an evening of conversation, mentorship, and networking.
Alumni share career experiences, offer recruiting advice, and help students explore new industries or cities.
This dinner is consistently one of the most impactful events of the year for both students and alumni.
Homecoming Event
Homecoming Event
Each fall, EGL alumni are invited to return to campus for Honors Homecoming, a College of Engineering Honors Program event that brings together current students, alumni, staff, and faculty.
For EGL alumni, Honors Homecoming is an opportunity to:
Reconnect with classmates, faculty, and staff
Meet current EGL students and learn about how the program has evolved
Engage in panels, talks, or informal conversations about career paths and life after Michigan
It’s a natural touchpoint each year for alumni who want to stay close to the broader Honors and EGL community.
