Columbia and MIT are again hosting a special “Forty Plus” *InterClub Social on Tuesday, August 31. The Houston *InterClub happy hours have been wildly successful since January 2007 and the *InterClub has now grown to include twenty five schools! Although the happy hours have been geared towards recent graduates, alumni from all decades are welcome (and quite a few of us from the “older decades” do regularly participate!). We have received feedback from several schools that a social event for the “forty plus” age group would be well received and that is how this event series was conceived.
When
Tue Aug 31 6pm – 9pm Central Time
