From Transition to Transformation: An Alumni Entrepreneur’s Story
WGU Alumni Dinner and Career Conversation
Our alumni continue to inspire us with their experiences, their career journeys, and the many ways they navigate change. Their stories help us better understand how we can support and prepare our graduates for what comes next.
Join us for an evening of dinner, conversation, and fun as graduate Kori Antenucci shares her candid journey from an unexpected layoff to starting her own business. Hear about the challenges, lessons, obstacles, and opportunities she encountered along the way—and how she turned a career transition into transformation.
This experience brings Alumni Relations and Career & Professional Development together to create a relaxed, career-focused evening where alumni can learn, reflect, and enjoy time together.
