We've heard you! There is eagerness and momentum for casual, quarterly alumni reunions to build community with the extensive Scripps network here in San Diego. Started in Summer 2023, these quarterly reunion-mixers are designed to provide a casual environment to raise a glass, exhale from the week with likeminded folks, and tap into the growing San Diego Scripps alumni network. Additionally, Scripps is consistently looking for alumni mentors, guest speakers, career spotlights, award nominees, and a supportive community to welcome new graduates. If you're interested, I can't wait to chat!
Please join us at:
