The Power of the Husky Network: First-Gen Students & Alumni Connect

In celebration of First-Gen Week, join us for an evening of meaningful connections between UConn Stamford first-generation students, recent graduates, and alumni professionals.

Through a series of short, guided conversations, participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, explore career paths, build their networks, and gain valuable insights from fellow Huskies who have navigated their own career journeys.

Whether you’re seeking advice, looking to give back, or hoping to expand your professional community, this event offers a welcoming space to connect, learn, and inspire. The micro-mentoring opportunity encourages students and recent grads to own their relationship with their mentors and network.

Hors d’oeuvres, beverages, and complimentary headshots will be provided. Although this program aims to attract and celebrate First-Gen students and alumni, all are welcome to attend.

Panelists:
Eileen L. Crossin, ’04 (CLAS)
Founder & CEO of Quantum Potential

Alens Toussaint, ’27 (BUS)
UConn Stamford SGA President

Marlene Leo, ’08 (CLAS) ’10 MSW
Director of Admissions at Columbia School of Social Work
