Annual pizza networking night in DC connects interns and alumni

The third annual summer pizza networking night in DC brought together current interns and alumni from a variety of years.

Current Elon University students interning in Washington, DC this summer got the chance to meet a group of enthusiastic alumni who exchanged wisdom and advice at Andy’s Pizza in the Navy Yard neighborhood in DC. This annual event, held in June by the DC Alumni Chapter is also used to show students that even after you graduate and leave the physical Elon campus, an Elon community awaits you in DC and is here to support your transition to the nation’s capital.

New 2025 graduates attended the event along with seasoned alumni who have been coming to DC Chapter events for years.

“Our annual student interns and alumni networking dinner has quickly become a chapter tradition,” said Kristen Burke ’18, president of the DC Alumni Chapter. “Each summer, it’s a joy to meet a new group of student interns who are eager to learn and connect. I hope that the students can picture themselves returning to DC as alumni and being a part of our community. Until then, I am grateful for the opportunity to foster meaningful relationships that can last well beyond the summer.”
