Introducing Grad Journeys

Did you know that Alpha Gam offers educational programming for seniors and alumnae through the Engage path of the Epsilon Pi Journey?

The Engage path is dedicated to enriching the senior and alumnae experience, providing resources for lifelong development. We’re thrilled to introduce Grad Journeys, a new program within the Engage path designed specifically for seniors and recent graduates!

Grad Journeys are virtual life-skills sessions led by alumnae experts, covering topics like graduate school and career preparation, personal finance, and healthy well-being. This program is designed to support a smooth transition into alumna life while preparing members for future careers and opportunities! Seniors and Alpha Gam grads can log into Acorn to explore the Engage program, access recordings from past sessions, and register for upcoming Grad Journeys events. Learn more here.
