College Dinner Series: Tulane University

Parker's College Dinner Series is back for year two! Join Dean of Student Life Joe Bruno and Director of Alumni Relations Chuck Lira as they hit the road to reconnect with Parker alumni on college campuses across the country. This year's series begins at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, followed by Tulane University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with the possibility of additional schools and cities being added throughout the year. These complimentary dinners are a chance to catch up with fellow alumni, share your college experiences, and stay connected to the Parker community—wherever your college journey has taken you.
