Alumni in medical fields come together in Detroit for a panel and networking event

On Thursday, February 29, 2024, more than 65 alumni from four Detroit-area Independent Schools including University Liggett School, Roeper, Detroit Country Day School and Cranbrook attended our first-ever Detroit Independent Schools Joint Alumni networking event at the Detroit Athletic Club. This inaugural gathering was a first time collaborative effort to bring together alumni from different schools together around shared career interests. The panel  featured medical professionals from all four of the schools. Dr. Latonya Riddle-Jones ‘97 represented Cranbrook Schools.

 

Led by moderator Dr. Herman Gray, Chair, Wayne State University Department of Pediatrics, this group of physicians spoke about their varied careers and the ways in which their independent school backgrounds impacted their career paths.

 

After the panel discussion concluded, panel participants and alumni guests from the four schools stayed to mix, mingle and network with each other. It was a fantastic, collaborative evening, and we look forward to planning future career events in additional industries going forward, and expanding our reach beyond the Detroit area.
