Opportunities From: Volunteer with Mines

The Vallejo Irvine Program for Professional Development (VIP) is hosting our 5th annual VIP Etiquette Dinner! This event teaches students the basics of formal dinner etiquette and allows students the opportunity to practice their small talk and networking skills. The event is centered around an interactive workshop led by a speaker. 

Our team is looking for alumni and industry partners interested in hosting a table and facilitating conversations with current students. Many of the students that attend this event are first-time undergraduates, many of whom are eager to learn how to strike up quick conversations and make lasting first impressions! This event is lighthearted, fun, and a safe space for students to practice these skills.

This program teaches the 6 key competencies, and real world experiences are a valuable way for our students to learn about their importance and applications. Following are the ways one can get involved, please email us with any further questions.
