Happy Hour with WNE Alumni
Over the past several months, the WNE Alumni Association has organized various opportunities for alumni to reconnect with one another over drinks and hors d’oeuvres. The newly launched First Wednesdays with WNE(C) series became a fan favorite this spring, where every first Wednesday of the month Golden Bears have had the opportunity to gather at bars and local breweries in Downtown Springfield to reminisce, network, win prizes, and indulge in a mid-week pick-me-up. Be on the lookout for more First Wednesdays this fall!
WNE’s College of Engineering also hosted an alumni event at Problem Solved Brewing, owned by Alan Bukowinski ’09/G’12. WNE Engineering Golden Bears gathered and connected with former classmates, relived memories with their favorite professors, and learned about the College’s happenings over apps and refreshments.
