I have attended two University of Iowa Alumni Association Networking & Professional Development lunches – one at Petterino’s in Chicago and one at Bravo! in West Des Moines. Both have been really great opportunities for me to meet alums in the area, hear a great presentation and eat a wonderful lunch! Here is the link to the UIAA website to check out future dates to see if there is one in your area: http://www.iowalum.com/career/events.cfm There is even one coming up in California!
