Are you spending your summer in NYC this year and wondering how you can create valuable connections with local U-M LSA alums? We’ve got the event for you. The LSA Opportunity Hub is coming to you and we’re bringing our alum friends with us! Join us and other alums who are located in NYC for an evening of casual, no-fuss, and pressure-free engagement and fun. This event is perfect for practicing those necessary networking skills while creating something worthwhile and long-lasting: forming relationships with supportive Wolverines located right where you are.

LSA students who join will have the unique opportunity to meet local alums from a variety of industries and organizations and start making relationships that can continue to grow virtually through LSA Connect. Don’t worry about preparation — by opting to RSVP, you will shortly receive access to helpful resources on what to wear, how to approach alums, and answers to other questions you might have before the event takes place.
