(Winston-Salem) Biz Deac Table for 10

The School of Business is piloting a brand-new concept, and we want you at the table. Literally. Introducing Table for 10: an exclusive, small-group breakfast designed to bring alumni together in a way weve never done before. Hosted by faculty member and Acting Dean for the School of Business, Stacie Petter, this inaugural gathering is intentionally small to keep the conversation big. No program, no podiums – just business alumni sharing a warm meal and meaningful dialogue. Breakfast includes an entree and beverage of your choice at Mama Zoe’s restaurant for a subsidized registration fee of $10. Space is limited to the first nine registrants [School of Business alumni only]. We hope youll join us for bright and early and help us kick off this new tradition right here in Winston-Salem!
