Career Networking Mixer 2020

1stGenYale hosted our fifth annual Career Networking Mixer for Students & Alumni on November 18, 2020– virtually!

Our career networking mixer is designed especially for Yale students, many of whom are among the first in their families to attend college and who come from low-income backgrounds. Sharing similar experiences, alumni hear from Yale students about their career interests as well as describe their own career journeys.

After a brief welcome, students and alumni went into breakout rooms for small group discussion based on career fields including arts & architecture, business, communications, computer science & engineering, consulting, education, environment, finance, law & social justice, health care, and nonprofits & public service.

The program was co-sponsored by the Yale Latino Alumni Network (YLAN) and the Yale First-Gen and/or Low-income Advocacy Movement (YFAM).
