Take a Triton to Class
Students were gaining so much out of joining alumni on the job , we thought alumni might get a kick out of returning to class as well . Take a Triton to Class is now hosted several times a year , often leading up to Alumni Signature Event weekends .

For future instances of Take a Triton to Work , in person meetings may well resume as workplaces start populating their offices . But virtual meetings continue to be a viable means of connecting Tritons and helping our students learn about the workforce .
