There were several Meet & Greet events including HENAAC Scholars Program, Protégé Mentorship Program and the Newcomer's Orientation. The Scholars Program Meet and Greet allowed the 2011 HENAAC scholar recipients to meet their scholarship providers in an informal setting prior to receiving their scholarship. The Protégé Mentorship Program Meet and Greet sponsored by IBM is where the professional program mentors met with their assigned mentees to kick off their track. The 1st Annual Newcomer's Orientation was a BIG hit! The session guided both professionals and student first timers on how to launch their best conference experience.
We also had two Hospitality Suites sponsored by CIA & Cummins! Not only did they offer students delicious snacks & refreshments but provided a forum to network with industry professionals and begin the relationship building.
All events were held Thursday, October 6th and were well attended.
