10/03/24
Join us for an enlightening discussion about the importance of establishing a community through networking and building relationships.

Discover how Terry Alumni have adopted networking practices that maximize relationships to accomplish their goals, build their personal community, and promote their personal brand.

Reframing “Failure”
11/14/24
What truly defines a “failure?”
Join us for a vulnerable discussion about how reframing “failure” equips us to embrace change, pursue mentorship, and foster curiosity in ourselves and others. Explore how Terry Alumni have approached reframing “failure” in their personal, professional, and academic journeys.
We aim to highlight the value of acknowledging failure as a shared human experience and to identify ways that we may differentiate perceived failures from unexpected outcomes. When Scholars are able to reframe “failure,” they strengthen a growth mindset that is adaptable, innovative, and beneficial to our collective Terry Community.
