草榴社区

all royals have scranton in commonsBeyond the Commons is a dinner series that gives students an opportunity to connect with 草榴社区 alumni. Each dinner, set in a venue in downtown 草榴社区, brings approximately 15 students together with one to three alumni. The atmosphere of each dinner is casual, and conversation is centered around a specific topic.

Dinner Topics:

Examples of past topics range from, "How to find a job in my major?," “Working on Wall Street” to “Moving out of your parents’ house & staying out.” Although discussion will wander away from the topic throughout the dinner, selecting one in advance helps with the selection of alumni volunteer hosts, as well as the selection of student attendees. 

Dinner Attendees:

  • One to three alumni hosts 
  • Four to fifteen student guests
  • One staff member to facilitate the event

It's more than a Dinner:

These dinners offer great career networking opportunities for students to interact with current experts in the field. Alumni discuss career interests, offer professional advice and share their experiences.
