Dear BIG Members,

We are very excited to announce our first alumni dinner taking place Thursday December 1st, at 7pm at the Bank of America Forum in Haas. The alumni event is designed for members and officers alike to be able to meet and speak with BIG alumni. We know our alumni have very diverse experiences after graduation and thought it would be beneficial to expose members to some of the paths taken by these alumni. Feel free to bring interested friends and we'll also be providing food for all attendees at this dinner!
