Coffee Chat with Alumni: November 2025
Whether you’re hoping to build your network professionally or just take a few minutes to meet someone new, sign up for these 1:1 alumni conversations!
Here’s how it works:
- Register by Noon on Friday, October 31st.
- Our team will match alumni for 1:1 conversations.
- On Wednesday, November 5th, we’ll connect each conversation pair with a short introductory email.
- Each conversation pair will work to find a time to meet that works for you both. It’s that easy.
Plan to chat for 30-minutes, maybe over coffee or a quick bite to eat!
*Please note that this is an alumni-only event.
We all know the benefits of work-life balance, but sometimes it seems completely out of reach. If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed or stretched thin, join your fellow alums for conversation and practical tips on how to build better balance and find more meaning and satisfaction in work and life, one step at a time. This discussion will be facilitated by WFU alumna and personal/professional development coach Amy Shuman (MAED ’99), so please come ready to participate and share with your fellow Deacs. Please note this is an alumni-only event!
