UNM Alumni Association to Host "Dinner for 12 Strangers"

Alumni12Dinner brings strangers brings students, faculty and alumni together to celebrate UNM Lobo Day

The UNM Alumni Association will be hosting its 3rd Annual "Dinner for 12 Strangers" on Feb. 28. The "Dinner for 12 Strangers" program provides an opportunity for alumni to connect with UNM students and faculty. Local alumni are asked to host a dinner in their homes in an effort to make UNM a smaller, friendlier place. UNM students, alumni and faculty come together as strangers and leave as friends.

“This year we are trying to get as many dinners in one night as possible. The dinner is a wonderful opportunity for students to network with professors and alumni and for UNM Lobos to get to know one another,” said Executive Director of the UNM Alumni Association Karen Abraham.

"Dinner for 12 Strangers" is a casual dinner with no agenda. It's designed simply to bring the UNM community together. Each dinner consists of four students, four faculty and four alumni. The association matches up attendees by their degree or field of interest. It is a night full of networking and fun.
