This is a past event.

Join Michigan Tech alumni and friends for an engaging evening of insightful discussions and meaningful connections as we explore workplace views (and sometimes, workplace weirdness!) on Thursday, November 2, 2023, from 6-8 p.m., at Jolly Pumpkin - Royal Oak, located at 419 S Main St, Royal Oak, MI 48067.  Accomplished alumni will delve into quick-fire talks that promise to ignite fresh perspectives on workplaces while bringing a touch of amusement. Stick around after the talks to swap stories and share a sip or two during a happy hour. Food and beverages will be available for individual purchase.

Please note that The Jolly Pumpkin has informed us of their temporary closure to the public for a rebranding and menu change. They will reopen to the public as Bandit Tavern & Hideaway on November 3. This temporary closure to the public does not impact the event space where the alumni gathering is taking place. There will be a host at the main entrance to guide you to the event space, and you can still purchase food and beverages during the event.

Here's a glimpse of some of our speakers and the topics they'll explore:

Mark Hamilton ‘87: Navigating Work Culture: Getting the Gist of Workplace Expectations
Kristin Kolodge ‘95: Hydrate Your Connections: The Power of Virtual Water Cooler Chats
Scott McBain '86: Talk to Every Stranger, The Stranger the Better
Dan Madrid '10: Building Comradery Through Team Challenges 

RSVP is requested for an accurate headcount. The deadline to RSVP is noon on Monday, October 30, 2023.
