Engineering Alumni Network Events
On October 14, nearly 100 Clark School grads came together for the Baltimore Alumni Networking Event at the Baltimore Museum of Industry for a night of catching up with fellow alumni and meeting current students working with Oculus Rift, Google Glass, and 3-D printing and scanning. The Engineering Alumni Network is hosting three more events this year: Tuesday, November 11 in Philadelphia, Pa.; Wednesday, November 12 in Wilmington, Del.; and Tuesday, December 2 in Silver Spring, Md. We hope to see you at an event soon!
