The Pioneer Alumni Network (PAN) is a program of ongoing events that provide valuable career and social networking opportunities for alumni. A small group of alumni volunteer their time to assist in planning monthly events both on campus and at venues around the Denver metro area. Events include breakfasts showcasing speakers on topics of relevance to career development, receptions prior to campus events, and informal happy hour gatherings. These events attract a wide range of alumni at many different stages in their careers. Having a DU education in common can provide an instant connection for alumni from various backgrounds and fields of work.
