Please join SEEDS for this first on our series of centennial events focused on community engagement. This event features a panel of local Reed college alumni who work in nonprofit and political fields, talking about their engagement at Reed and beyond. Come learn how these alumni stayed engaged in both classwork and life outside the classroom while at Reed and how they now are using their Reed education in their careers. This will be a very interactive session, with time for questions and networking.
