Who should attend a Metro Heels networking event?

Current UNC-Chapel Hill students: If you are an undergraduate or graduate student living or interning in one of our Metro Heels cities, join us for a unique opportunity to:

  • Expand your professional networks to include alumni or employers based in other cities
  • Make contacts within different industries
  • Gain insight into potential career paths
  • Meet and socialize with fellow Tar Heels – especially if you’re new to the area

UNC-Chapel Hill alumni: You can help bridge the gap between students’ academic experiences and professional opportunities. By joining us at a Metro Heels networking event, you can give back to the Carolina community by sharing your expertise and career insights, as well as expand your own professional networks and pipeline of early career professionals.
