The Alumni Networking Happy Hour—“Business and Entrepreneurship Industries” on Monday, April 8, takes place in conjunction with the grand opening of the Iowa City Area Development Group’s IC Colab, a contemporary workspace in Iowa City that encourages professional collaboration and economic development.
