ConneKtions @ Dinner Week: Fall 2015

You may only sign up for ONE dinner. Do not select a date/time that conflicts with your class schedule (and the Cubs' playoff schedule!). Also, we ask that you please do not contact alumni directly to add more spaces. Additional dinners may be added after the initial schedule is released, so please check back. You may need to scroll across at the bottom to see all of the dinners.

If you are signing up for a dinner at someone's home, please email Katie Aune at kaune@kentlaw.iit.edu with any dietary restrictions.

IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL, please email Katie Aune at kaune@kentlaw.iit.edu so she can contact the next individual on the waiting list. DO NOT remove yourself from the list. Cancellations are not permitted within 24 hours of a dinner unless in case of an emergency.
