Grit After Graduation Alumni Panel and Employer Networking Event

Students, staff, alumni, and faculty are invited to participate in this interactive panel and networking event celebrating professional development, personal growth, and life-long learning. Hear honest, real-world stories from Mines alumni about what early career life actually looks like. From navigating first jobs and managing imposter syndrome to learning from failures and setbacks, alumni will reflect on how they built resilience, adapted to workplace challenges, and kept moving forward when things didn’t go as planned.

4-5 PM: Interactive Alumni Panel
5-6 PM: Guided Networking with Alumni and Employers

Food and refreshments will be provided. An open bar will be available for those ages 21+.
