Networking Nights is a series of Thursday Night offerings for Cornellians to get together around an idea or a passion and met others of similar interests. We pick a restaurant or bar for a beverage or a meal... and a moderator works to help us share the discussion. You should be bringing as many questions as comments to keep it lively. Here are some topics in need of co-hosts:
My Big Project: held in Ithaca during Reunion Weekend. Especially but not limited to the Class of '86.
What's a passion project you have? During reunion weekend, swing by the hang-out area of the Class of '86 where they'll already have food/ drink to support a small table meet-up moderated by Maggie and Holly. We want to know what your passion project is (in 7 minutes or less.) It could be a work project or something cool you are doing for leisure in the DMV. Birding, volunteering, organizing politically. If we have more than 6-8 at our table, we'll form 2. Let's have a rich discussion and get to know more Cornellians in the DMV.
