After the success of the 17th annual NYC career event, Mu Chapter is returning for the 18th annual NYC career event on November 7–8, 2024. The event will consist of a Thursday-night dinner at the Cornell Club, courtesy of Wayne Forman ’80 and the educational foundation, and office visits with various alumni on Friday.

We have again booked the AD White Room in the Cornell Club, a 760-square-foot historical library named after the Cofounder of Cornell, a tribute to the AD White Library here on campus. Overlooking 44th Street, this room will play host to the 18th annual career event and set the stage for another productive and rewarding night of conversation and collaboration.

Beverages will include soda, wine, beer, and water. Appropriate dress is business casual.

Thank you to all Sigma Pi alumni who attended the dinner and hosted undergraduates last year, and we cordially invite you to join the event once again this year. Alumni who weren’t able to attend last year, we hope that you will be able to make it this year not only to meet the undergraduate brothers but also to reconnect with other alumni from around the country and have valuable conversations and share your experiences.

If you are able to make the dinner and/or to host undergraduates at your offices, please reach out to Justin Simon at jts295@cornell.edu or Janet Conyette at jconyette@elevateims.com for more information.

We look forward to seeing familiar faces from last year and getting to know the wider Mu Chapter of Sigma Pi alumni cohort.
