Held earlier this month, the event included a dinner and talks with industry leaders and community speakers who shared their success stories.

The event was also an opportunity to raise funds for the UA Alumni Association's multicultural clubs, including the UA Black Alumni Club, American Indian Club, Hispanic Alumni Club and the Asian American Faculty Staff Club.
