Join us while we continue making meaningful connections through the Alumni Speaker Series! 🦚

This month, we will feature Jake Stenberg, a 2016 Fayette Campus alum, on Wednesday, October 14th, virtually at 6pm central as he presents “The Long Game: Leadership, Relationships, and Impact”. Since graduating from Upper Iowa, Jake has embraced the connections and networking opportunities he has experienced, which have had a lasting impact in his field. As a student-athlete and athletics intern, Jake saw the behind-the-scenes efforts that go into building a successful program and credits much of that experience with propelling him into his career. Tune in while Jake talks about his journey after UIU and the experiences that surround it.

You can join Jake’s talk live as he shares his experiences virtually through UIU’s page, and you will have an opportunity to ask questions in the comments section. The speaker series features career-related topics inspired by our alum’s career paths. Sessions are recorded and made available on the Alumni Speaker Series webpage, where they can be viewed at any time at www.uiu.edu/alumnispeakerseries.
