Faculty of Engineering Networking Reception

Alumni and students of the Faculty of Engineering, RSMA and CGCA gathered for a networking reception

Following a successful engineering careers fair on 23 October, which brought 60 companies to Imperial College and was visited by 1,500 students, the Engineering Chapter hosted a networking reception for engineering alumni and students. This event, generously sponsored by npower and the City and Guilds College Association, aimed to give students the opportunity to learn from alumni about their career experiences and to make valuable networks, whilst also allowing alumni to connect with the current student body.

Following a brief address about recent changes in the Faculty, given by the new Principal of the Faculty of Engineering, Professor Stephen Richardson, around 30 alumni had a chance to enjoy a glass of wine and the opportunity to network with each other before being joined by over 100 students. Feedback from both students and alumni was very positive, and included some great ideas for making the event even better next year!
