First Annual Alumni Conference

On July 21^st 2011, MEET held the First Annual Alumni Conference. The Alumni Conference was attended by participants of the past 7 years of the MEET program. The daylong event featured a formal lunch, networking opportunities, the chance to meet the current MEET students and instructors from MIT and career development seminars. Alumni Conference seminars were specifically designed for MEET in order to make the most of our alumni’s unique skill sets. Seminar topics included social entrepreneurship, professional interviewing strategy, and negotiation tactics. Over the course of the day it was especially nice to see alumni and current MEET students interacting—hearing about the activities and accomplishments of alumni was inspiring and motivating for current MEET students.
