Duck In and Connect - Bay Area
Expand your flock over brunch in a welcoming, low-pressure setting.
Your next connection could be sitting across the brunch table!
Register now for Duck In & Connect, a new networking event designed for all UO alumni across the Bay Area. Whether you’re climbing the ladder, changing careers, hiring, job searching, or simply looking for Duck community, you belong in this room.
Join us for a delicious brunch and a fresh take on networking. We’ll start with guided small-group conversations to make breaking the ice effortless, then transition into open mingling with fellow Ducks across industries, roles, and experiences.
No awkward small talk. No pressure to work the room. Just real conversations and genuine connection among fellow Ducks.
This opportunity is brought to you as a partnership between the Duck Career Network and the Bay Area Ducks alumni chapter.
Learn more about becoming involved with the Bay Area Ducks on their webpage.
