REMINDER: Register for Merage Monday Mixer featuring Dean Ian O. Williamson at Grant Thornton - OC Office! https://meragemondaymixer2026jun8.eventbrite.com

Join us for our monthly Merage Monday Mixer to connect, engage and learn while hearing an insightful talk, enjoying great conversations and building your network. Come together with your Merage classmates or feel free to bring a guest. Open to current Merage School students interested in working for Grant Thornton and prospective students pursuing their masters at the Merage School.

This month, we are delighted to feature Dean Ian O. Williamson as our special guest speaker. Dean Williamson will provide an exciting update on the Merage School, sharing the latest news, achievements, and vision for the future. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from the Dean and engage in meaningful dialogue about the direction of our school and community.

We also extend our sincere thanks our double alum Seth Morgan, MBA, PMP, and the leadership at Grant Thornton, especially Brett Beightol, for graciously opening their Orange County office to host this mixer. Their generosity has provided a valuable opportunity for our Merage community to connect, engage, and learn in a welcoming and dynamic setting.
Whether you’re looking to catch up with friends, expand your professional network, or simply enjoy an evening with fellow Anteaters, the Merage Monday Mixer is the place to be. We look forward to seeing you there!

Please register to help us plan. Limited space so registration is required.
