Dinner with Eight Bears

Want to grow your network, make new friends, gain career insights and enjoy a great meal?

Dinner with Eight Bears, sponsored by the Student Alumni Association, is your opportunity. (And yes, your meal is covered!)

About the program

These small-group dinners, hosted in the fall by alumni and friends in their homes, on campus or at local restaurants, bring students and alumni together to share food, stories and connections.

It’s an opportunity to hear real-world experiences, gain professional insight and talk about future goals in a relaxed setting.

Each dinner is shaped by the host—they choose the meal, location and conversation theme. All expenses are covered by the host.

Students can pick a topic and time that fits their interests, and sign up to connect with Bears who’ve been where you are and are eager to support your journey.
