Senior/Junior Women—Alumnae Events

Online Registration

"The dinner was attended by women all having an enthusiasm for Cornell in common. The small size of the event facilitated easy conversation."

These events are hosted by alumnae in their homes to provide a forum for graduates and current junior and senior women to discuss a wide range of topics related to life after Cornell—do you move first or find a job then move; identifying prospective employers and networking in a down economy; apartment hunting; cost of living; negotiating salaries? The purpose of these dinners is not employment but rather to help ease the transition from university to workplace through discussion of issues shared by women.

Events will be held during winter break in the homes of alumnae in:

•    Boston

•    Buffalo

•    Chicago

•    Dallas

•    Fairfield County, CT

•    Ithaca

•    Los Angeles

•    Manhattan, Long Island, Brooklyn, Bronx,    Westchester County

•    Northern New Jersey

•    Philadelphia

•    Princeton

•    Rochester, NY

•    San Francisco

•    South Florida (Miami, Palm Beach or Ft.    Lauderdale)

•    Washington DC

Attendance is limited to 8—15 students per event and an equal number of alumnae. This program is focused on issues related to women about to enter the workforce and, therefore, seniors have preference for placement. Online Registration is available November 1—December 10, 2009.
