Make an unforgettable, one-on-one connection with a Fordham alumnus or alumna over dinner.

That’s the mission of the Gabelli School’s Alumni/Student Supper Club.

Back for its third year, the Supper Club matches one Fordham graduate with a very small group of students — five or six — for networking dinners at restaurants in Manhattan and on Arthur Avenue. The host will remember you. You will remember your host.

All of which makes for a great career connection.

We recommend you apply for Supper Clubs when the host works in your career field of interest. Students are chosen based on the strength of their application and are notified by e-mail if they have been awarded a seat.

The first one for fall 2013 is in finance, with Steve McGuinness (GSB ’82, GBA ’91), senior vice president, Global.

Date: Thursday, October 3, 2013
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Location: Enzo’s on Arthur Avenue
