CONNECT '20
CONNECT, The Schulich Alumni Forum featuring various virtual events throughout the month of November 2020.
CONNECT is a senior alumni conference that brings together Schulich alumni from around the globe to discuss, debate and discover new ideas and concepts.
The theme of this year’s forum, Leadership and Resilience, will inspire, equip and challenge our alumni to succeed in a dynamic environment. CONNECT will feature thought leaders and experts that will help our alumni navigate an unpredictable landscape with confidence. Join us for a program of interactive panels, presentations, personal and professional development sessions as well as opportunities to network with the Schulich Global Alumni Network.
In previous years, our CONNECT program has been held Shanghai, New York and Beijing. This year CONNECT 2020 will be held virtually for our alumni who are 32,000 strong, with more than 90 alumni chapters in over 60 countries.
