<p>just had an all-ivy event in our town - it was the Cornellians who made it happen - not Penn - not Harvard...</p>
<p>Go on, go on! Give us the details ;)</p>
<p>I get emails about “all-Ivy” mixers and happy hours in my city (Chicago) but i always figured they were like singles/matchmaking events for older alumni. Are there any valuable networking benefits for young alumni?</p>
<p>maybe…when we were in Chicago as Young Alums (in the 70’s) the first thing we got invited to was a Zinck’s Night - which I think started as a Young (Cornell) Alum thing and moved to an all-age thing now. </p>
<p>When I look at the photos of All-ivy events in other cities it looks like a social event…</p>
<p>however, when my d sent out the e-mails about this event here quite a few “older” young alums (!!!) expressed interest in it as they were interested in networking not social …one non-Cornellian is offering to take it over as she is leaving the country…</p>
<p>I would try it if I were you, but then again I am the mom who is always saying, go, you might meet someone. or she/he might have a friend. so, what do you lose - an hour or so?</p>
