About the Lunch with Alums program:
The Lunch with Alums initiative connects URSP students with URSP alumni. It brings students to alumni, rather than bring alumni to students. The informal meeting acts as an informational interview allowing students to learn about the profession, with the alumni sharing their experience, knowledge and insight. The initiative affords the alumni and student greater flexibility to engage with each other. Lunch with Alums provides a mechanism to develop a bond between past and current students, as well as strengthen the bond between alumni and the Program. If you have any questions about the Lunch with Alums program please contact Dr. Alex Chen at achen@umd.edu
