Inaugural East Coast Alumni Event Attracts 25 Collingwood Alumni   

November 4 saw 25 alumni gathering at the Heartland Brewery in downtown Manhattan for the School's first ever East Coast alumni event. Alumni from New York, Boston, Connecticut and Philadelphia joined Michelle Embury and Brian McDonald for a social evening with their fellow East Coast alumni.  

Attendees included graduates from as recent as the Class of 2011 and as far back as the Class of 1997. The night was an excellent opportunity for recent graduates to meet Collingwood alumni currently working in the New York area. At the same time, Michelle and Brian were able to connect with our current crop of college students to learn from their experiences at a number of East Coast colleges.
