Dining with an AUCian

About the Program

This program is designed to bring together AUC alumni from diverse career fields and provide a networking opportunity with current AUC seniors and graduating seniors in a relaxed setting outside campus while sharing a meal. This program is an opportunity for students to share their experiences at AUC and learn more about their host's journey as an alum and what happens after graduation. It also allows everyone to expand their social circle by meeting new people.

Thank you, Gaballah, for this amazing opportunity.
