Remember the late-night group projects, the dash between classes, the endless debates over food and kopi? We’re bringing a little of that back, minus the deadlines.
SOSS Alumni After Work Edition is a relaxed evening of good food, easy conversation and familiar faces. Loosen your tie, leave the inbox behind, and swing by the School to catch up with old course mates, meet alumni from across the years, and see what’s new on campus.
Whether you graduated recently or it’s been a few years, there’s a seat for you. Bring a classmate or two (the more the merrier!), and come catch up with us!
We look forward to seeing you on 6 November.
