“It was a great way to get connected to alumni and students both in and out of your field. It was fast paced and the hour went by in a flash. I'd definitely do it again!”
“This is a really great idea to connect people from all over! I love how accessible it is, that you can participate from anywhere, and it's not necessary to spend extra time on physical travel etc. Physically meeting someone is always preferable, but not always possible.
"During this event I talked with people I never would have met otherwise. Thanks for organizing it.”
“Getting to meet so many Bulldogs so quickly!”
“I wish UGA would do these every month! It's a great way to meet other UGA alumni and connect with them!”
