About this event:

Join us for the first virtual meeting of Exeter alumni in the Americas!

The session will kick off with an update on news from Exeter, we will then be hearing from Michael Jones (BA Economics 1974) and Eve Basher (MA History 2013) who have supported the University with philanthropic donations and as volunteers. We will then move into the first round of speed networking, where you will be randomly paired with another alumni guest for a few minutes to exchange best memories from your time at Exeter.

In the second half, we will be hearing from Sophie Webb (LLB Law 2015), Patrick Wilken (MSc International Management 2016) and Alexis Svenson (Study Abroad 2016) about their experiences of launching a career in the US/Canada and the importance of making professional connections, mentoring and volunteering. The final round of speed networking will match you with another alumni guest at random for you to discuss your career since graduation from Exeter.
