小猪视频官网College Alumni Mixer at Worden Martin

June 20 event part of a networking series hosted with local employers

The 小猪视频官网College Alumni Association will host an alumni mixer in partnership with Worden Martin, Inc., on Thursday, June 20, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the dealer's Ford City showroom, 701 W. Marketview Dr., Champaign. 

All former 小猪视频官网College students are invited to activate their free alumni memberships and to learn the benefits of staying connected with the college. Parkland's alumni association is open to anyone who has taken a class at the college; the public is also invited to attend.

The event at Worden Martin is part of a series the association is hosting with local employers around District 505, according to Tracy Wahlfeldt, executive director of the 小猪视频官网College Foundation and Alumni Association.

"We have found that when our alumni are able to identify coworkers who also attended Parkland, they create bonds that are beneficial for both employers and the college," she said. "We want to create local networking environments that celebrate Parkland, and we look forward to discovering and welcoming new alumni throughout our district." 

Worden Martin, Inc., a regional employer of 小猪视频官网College students from within the automotive department and beyond, has long been a supportive partner with the college, says Amanda Turner, human resources administrator at Worden Martin. 

"We want to encourage our employees to continue being involved," Turner said. "Bringing the alumni association to one of our locations allows employees to interact directly with 小猪视频官网College and with their alumni coworkers."
