School of Business Alumni Table for 10 – San Diego
The School of Business wants you at the table. Literally. Biz Deac alumni are invited to Table for 10: an exclusive, small-group dinner designed to bring alumni together in a way weve never done before. Hosted by Thomas S. Goho Chair in Finance and Professor, Ajay Patel (P ’17, P ’19), this gathering in San Diego is intentionally small to keep the conversation big. No program, no podiums – just business alumni sharing a warm meal and meaningful dialogue. Dinner is included for a subsidized registration fee of $30. To keep this a true ‘Table for 10’ concept, we are limiting the reservation to nine alumni [plus our host] and are unable to accommodate guests. Note: The event is 6:00-8:00 p.m. PT. We hope you will join us at the table!
