Ask Alumni | Black Alumni & Friends Network
Ask Alumni virtual panel is an opportunity to meet OSU alumni who have been where you currently are, ask questions and learn from their experiences. Connect with Oregon State alumni to learn how they found success in their academic pursuits and in their early professional years, from classes to career and advising to internships. This event features an interactive panel, where you’ll learn about how they navigated their next steps after college into their career. Plus, you’ll grow your professional network with students, alumni and industry professionals alike and get possible insights on job and mentorship opportunities.
This is a hybrid event. Join us in person at the Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center on the Oregon State campus for community and food.
Moderated by Conrad Hurdle, Ed.M. ’96, OSU Alumni Association Board of Directors member and OSU Black Alumni & Friends Network leader.
