ConneKtions @ Dinner: Spring 2014

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.

ConneKtions @ Dinner are small, informal networking opportunities in which Chicago-Kent alumni graciously host a group of students for dinner to help make connections within the Chicago-Kent community.

NOTE TO STUDENTS: You may only sign up for ONE dinner. Do not select a date/time that conflicts with your class 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.

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.
