February 2023 Updates!
Greetings ISEP community. The Alumni Association has been busy relaunching in-person meetups and organizing events designed to reconnect with you and your interests based on your responses to our survey last fall. Please see below for some highlights, as well as things to come. You may click links under each header for more information. We are always interested in hearing what’s going with you, and are happy to arrange 1x1 or group advising sessions on academic and career questions.
In-person events are in full swing!
Thank you to everyone who ventured out to our in-person meetups in New York City in December, and in Bangkok, Thailand in January. You can see highlights on the Alumni Association’s website. Our next two meetups will happen in the Bay Area and Washington, DC. Planning is also underway for events in London and Seoul, so stay tuned for more info on those! If you are interested in helping to arrange an alumni event in your city, reply to this newsletter and we can discuss it with you.
