Description

About Dinner with 12 Titans:

Our signature program Dinner with 12 Titans (D12) brings students and alumni around the table over a shared Titan experience. While workshops, panels, and formal networking events are great ways to connect, D12 is a space for Titans across generations to come together over casual conversation. No set questions or strict program to follow. This is an opportunity for Titans to learn about one another, build their network, and share tips and tricks on navigating college and professional path.
