2013 young alumni inaugural dinner
On Saturday, October 12, 2013, we had our Young Alumni of Dartmouth in Japan Inaugural Dinner at Gonpachi G-Zone in Ginza.
In recent years, the number of young Dartmouth alumni in Japan has grown and due to high interest in a social event with just young alumni, we planned our first dinner get-together!
At the event, we went around introducing ourselves. The conversation first revolved around memories of Dartmouth, then talk about jobs/career involving networking among those who were not previously acquainted, small talk including most recent travel adventures, and then brainstorming ideas for future Dartmouth alumni events.
As shown below, the attendees were a fantastic mix of enthusiastic young alums from various backgrounds!
In future, we hope to continue planning social events focused on this smaller subgroup of the alumni club.
