KSEA is home to over 20 YG Groups. Following a year of schools being completely virtual, schools are back in-person and our YG Groups have begun their fall events to recruit new members and host professional and networking events. We love seeing everyone’s smiles, both under and over their masks – check out a few event highlights below!
The University of Southern California YG Group held a K-BBQ night for members to meet with the executive board. The USC YG Group is also launching a KSEA Konnect program, which is a mentorship program to connect USC KSEA YG members to alumni or professionals with similar interests or majors. Their mentorship program has been very successful in the past, facilitating incredible relationships with guidance and advice for mentees. USC YG was recognized as the most active YG Group last year, successfully navigating through challenges presented by the virtual setting. We are so excited for them to hold in-person their in person events this year and have a successful school year!
