Farmer's Market, Friends, and Fun Umbrella Photos

Thank you to all the Alumni & Friends who braved the rain to join us on Saturday, January 20 for Coffee and Conversation in Downtown Hayward. Umbrellas in hand, we had a blast strolling the Farmer's Market, enjoying some coffee, brainstorming about career and event ideas, and getting to reconnect for the first time in 2024.
