Regional chapter and affinity roundup
By Steve Seepersaud
On Dec. 17, more than 30 former Pipe Dream writers and editors met up in Manhattan's Bleecker Street Bar to talk shop about
journalism and chat about their times on campus. Attendees included a pair of editors
from the 1960s, back when Pipe Dream was known as The Colonial News, as well as several current members of the editorial staff.
The Pipe Dream alumni group hosts networking happy hours once or twice a year in New York City, and organizes career connections between alumni and current students. If you're interested in joining, sign up for the newsletter and feel free to email founder Jacob Shamsian '15.
