Duck In and Connect - San Francisco and 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 casual networking event designed for 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!
To ensure an exclusive, private experience for our Ducks, we've secured the main dining area and bar at Underdog's Cantina. Join us for a delicious brunch, followed by a fresh take on networking. We’ll kick things off with guided small-group conversations to make breaking the ice effortless, then transition into open mingling among 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 in a non-intimidating atmosphere.
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.
