On November 19th, over 60 alumni of LA Fellows gathered at the Robin Hood Pub & Restaurant in Sherman Oaks to mix, mingle, network and reminisce on their time in the LA Fellows program.
This is the first time all 8 cohorts of the program have gathered in one place. The event was organized and hosted by Katie Mills (shown here with Job Training Director Lennie Ciufo) and her fellow graduates of Cohort 8.
The night kicked off with good news from Cohort 8 graduate Nicole Trejo, who recently landed a position with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Photo Archives Department.
Former classmates had time to catch up ...
Accomplishments were celebrated...
Successes were shared...
New friends and network connections were built...
Old friendships were renewed...
Fellows acknowledged the work done by earlier classes that built the foundation of the program...
...And recent classes were celebrated for carrying on traditions and taking our successes to the next level.
By all accounts, the mixer was a great success.
It is always inspiring to have a group of LA Fellows together, talking about their experiences as a result of the program. The most common sentiment expressed? "It changed my life." We're looking forward to more of these gatherings in the future, especially when we have a new Cohort 9 to add to the fun!
