Local Business Community Invited to UE’s “Connect for a Cause”

0

This Thursday, the University of Evansville will host Connect for a Cause, a professional speed networking event that benefits the Evansville Christian Life Center. Bob Jones, president and chief executive officer of Old National Bank and a member of the University of Evansville Board of Trustees, will present a keynote address.

The event will take place from 6-8 p.m. August 4 in Eykamp Hall 251, Ridgway University Center.

At Connect for a Cause, attendees can meet with employers, learn about local companies, and build their professional network — all while supporting a nonprofit organization. Door prizes and refreshments from the Bauerhaus are also included.

The event serves as the summer practicum project for the 2011 cohort of UE’s Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership program, an accelerated degree program for adult learners who have at least 60 college credit hours or an associate’s degree.

Entry requires one canned food item that will be donated to the Evansville Christian Life Center. To RSVP for the event, e-mail UEnetworking@gmail.com.
