May Coffee Chat With Alumni | Register by Friday, May 1, 2026, at 12:00pm ET | Virtual
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, May 1st. Our team will match alumni for 1:1 conversations. By Tuesday, May 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 program is for WFU alumni. (Not for current students or School of Business Alumni). Contact Sharron Vogler to sign up for the B School Power Chats.
Are you at a career crossroads and wondering what’s next? Many professionals over 50 reassess their careers as they seek both financial stability and greater fulfillment.

In this webinar, Certified Career Coach and national career expert Hallie Crawford introduces the Ideal Career Model to help you clarify your next steps, identify what fulfills you, and explore career options that align with your strengths, interests, and lifestyle goals. Don’t stay stuck or uncertain. Join us and take the first step toward a career that fits this next chapter of your life.

Are you a Wake Forest alum working in Marketing & Communications in NYC? You’re invited to the first-ever Deacon Dialogue Dinner, an opportunity to join your fellow Marketing & Communications Deacs for a relaxed evening of great food and even better conversation! This dinner will be hosted by WFU alumna Kelly Laffey (’10), who currently works in healthcare communications at EmblemHealth in NYC. Whether you want to discuss the shifting landscape of the field or simply want to meet other Wake Forest alumni in your industry, there is a seat waiting for you. Please visit the registration page for further information.
UPDATE: Due to high interest, we’ve added another dinner. Register here.

Let’s be honest: nobody actually has “adulting” completely figured out. Whether you’re struggling to balance a budget, trying to build a community outside of a campus setting, or just feeling the pressure to “have it all together,” you aren’t alone.
This workshop is a shame-free zone for young alumni, especially folks who are 0-5 years out of college, to get real about the post-grad transition. We’ll celebrate the things you’re currently crushing and brainstorm solutions for the things that are proving unexpectedly difficult. Come for the connection, stay for the collective wisdom, and leave with one small, manageable goal for the week ahead.
