What is the Networking Breakfast?
Generously supported by Mr. H. Anthony Ittleson '60, the Ittleson NYC/Brown Summer 2005 Networking Breakfast gives students an opportunity to meet, network and socialize with Brown alumni and other undergraduates interning in the New York metro area for the summer. Join us to meet alumni with expertise in various fields, establish valuable contacts, learn what other Brown interns are doing and talk about internship and career issues.

How is it Structured?
Alumni are asked to arrive between 7:15 - 7:30am and students between 7:30-8:00am. The program will begin promptly at 8:00am at which time there will be a brief welcome address and logistical overview. Immediately following, alumni roundtable hosts and student attendees will be seated at the industry specific tables (alumni are assigned locations; students choose their locations). There will be three or four table rotations so that students can meet a number of alumni and learn about multiple industries. There will be two alumni per table (typically) and hosts will remain seated at the same table throughout the course of the breakfast.
