Washington, DC - School of Business Table for 10

7:30 A.M. - 9:00 A.M.

The School of Business wants you at the table. Literally. Biz Deac alumni are invited to Table for 10: an exclusive, small-group breakfast designed to bring alumni together in a way we’ve never done before. Hosted by Director of Alumni & MBA Career Development Sharron Vogler, this DC gathering is intentionally small to keep the conversation big. No program, no podiums - just business alumni sharing a cozy meal and meaningful dialogue. Breakfast at Kramer's includes an entree and beverage of your choice for a subsidized registration fee of $10. To keep this a true 'Table for 10' concept, we are limiting the reservation to nine alumni [plus our host] and are unable to accommodate guests. We hope you will join us at the table!
