The Room Where It Happens
Connections 2026 brought together more than 250 graduates and students for an evening of networking and mentorship. Gathered around tables by practice area, graduates shared their experiences and career insights with students — and everyone got their shot. Many thanks to all our graduates who participated!
We are grateful to all of this year’s sponsors for making Connections possible, and extend special thanks to John Lanza ’95 (top photo, far left) for providing welcome remarks and to his firm, Foley Hoag, for its generous major sponsorship of the event.
