First-Generation Alumni Mixer

The Office of Undergraduate Education is proud to host the 5^th annual First-Generation Celebration Week on Monday, November 6^th through Friday, November 10^th. The newest addition to First-Generation Celebration Week is a dedicated First-Generation Student and Alumni Networking event sponsored by Capital One on Thursday, November 9^th from 4pm to 6pm in the Davidson Gundy Alumni Center at UT Dallas. Appetizers, refreshments, and swag gifts will be provided.  

The event will feature a panel of first-generation professionals from Capital One and a networking reception designed to facilitate connections between current UT Dallas first-generation students, alumni, and corporate supporters. Current first-generation students will expand their professional networks, gain insights about internship and career opportunities, and learn from the experiences of first-generation professionals. First-generation alumni and corporate supporters will share advice and opportunities with current students, including those close to graduation and seeking internships, and some may use this as a chance expand their own professional networks within the UT Dallas alumni population and/or to recruit interns and full-time career employees. Event activities will include a photobooth for professional headshots, a ‘tell me about yourself’ elevator speech challenge, and résumé reviews.
