The U Penn Arts & Sciences Professional Women’s Alliance and Ambassador Council have organized a new Food & Drink industry event on June 7th called “Ben’s Table”, where — over cocktails and hors d'oeuvres — Penn Arts & Sciences alums in the food, beverage and hospitality fields will be showcasing select products, ranging from sparkling boozy teas to specialty confections. It’s an opportunity to meet and network with fellow College alums including alumni entrepreneurs sharing samples of their high quality products and learn of their innovative services.
Yours Truly, that’s right “T Hop” (my nickname coined at Penn & used ever since ;) will be hosting this inaugural event, SO if you’re a U Penn Alum, have any interest in or connection to my amazing alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, click the button below to register and come out for what will be a fun fab fun affair!
