Are you a current KU student interested in attending Mocktails & Mingle? Please register here.

The Mocktails & Mingle program is a collaboration between KU Alumni and the University Career Center.

These casual networking events help current KU students connect with alumni for networking and career exploration. The Mocktails topics are curated with KU student pathways in mind, providing students an opportunity to connect with professionals from industries that are of interest to them.

Mocktails & Mingle events are successful because of local KU alumni and professionals. We invite you to join us in supporting students in their career exploration and discovery by helping them practice their networking skills in a safe and comfortable environment. As a networker, you will:

• Answer student questions about your unique career path

• Build relationships with other local alumni and current KU students

• Give back to the University by offering students career advice and guidance

• Identify potential talent for future opportunities

• Learn new perspectives from the students

• Stay connected to KU
