ARAD alumni had such a wonderful time at last year's Recent Alumni Mixer that we decided to do it again! This year, ARAD and the Office of Alumni Relations are excited to welcome ARAD graduates from the classes of 2008-2018, as "recent alumni," to a networking mixer on Tuesday, February 5, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in Midtown at Gossip Bar, 733 9th Ave, between 49th and 50th.

We’re organizing this just for ARAD alumni. There’s no program, no agenda, no fundraising drive. Dr. Jennifer Lena will be there to answer questions you have about the program, a representative from Alumni Relations will be there to answer questions about the support they can offer as your career evolves, and there will be complimentary drinks and appetizers.

This idea came from other alumni, like you, who wanted a chance to see friends, network and meet other alums--and do it without going to the bank first, or sitting through a lecture.

We hope you’ll come! Tell your former cohort on Facebook that you’re going, so they’ll come too. Bring your favorite memories from your time at ARAD, share horror stories about Accounting, or just commiserate about the state of the subways.

Please RSVP below January 31, if you are able to join us. Can’t wait to see you!
