Young Alumni Network
Young Alumni Committee Leaders (from left to right) Jacob Lescault, Sam Savoia, Allie Vogrig, Danielle Hill.
The Young Alumni Network (YAN) provides a young professional support system to help students and young alumni connect and maintain an industry network.
As you transition from student to professional, it's essential to maintain strong connections and cultivate new relationships in the construction industry. The YAN acts as a bridge, fostering connections between young alumni and current students while also creating avenues for engagement with the broader construction community.
