This year’s Homecoming events brought together students and alumni for two highly anticipated receptions, with a combined total of close to 100 alumni and (almost as many students!) in attendance. Both the Connection Reception and Alumni of Color Reception are, annually, some of our most well-attended networking events.
These gatherings offered students a unique chance to hear alumni stories, career advice, and insights. Randa Alnaas ’27 shared, “This year’s Homecoming gave me the opportunity to connect with Kate Kreiss and Rachel Frank, alumnae from the class of 2019. The conversation with them was inspiring. They shared that making the most of the college experience and what K College has to offer—from Study Away and Study Abroad programs—is important, as these experiences have shaped their professional development and led to fulfilling careers.”
The discussions also opened students’ eyes to possibilities for combining different academic passions into a career. “I got a glimpse of how I could combine my Economics major and Theater interest in my career after college,” said the student. “Hearing their perspectives as young adult women pursuing careers they love made me excited for my plans after college. It also reassured me that I can pursue my passions while building a successful career.”
We look forward to building on the success of this year’s Homecoming and continuing to foster these invaluable connections between students and alumni. Alumni who are interested in supporting students’ career development can visit our alumni page to learn more. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
