In partnership with Penn State Alumni Career Services and the San Diego Chapter of the PSAA, we are hosting a Holiday Mix & Mingle Networking Event at The Blue Beet in Newport Beach!
The spirit of the holidays creates a great time to meet new people, learn about their experiences, and build connections that will help you grow as an individual and professional.
On December 11 from 6:30 – 7:30pm, special guest Cheryl Bonner, Director of Career Services at Penn State, will be sharing advice and resources for building your network during the holiday season. Whether you are a longtime member of OC PSU or a local alumnus who has never attended an OC PSU event, you will have the opportunity to connect with local PSU alumni as well as soak up the best advice from Cheryl on maximizing your networking opportunities.
