The UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies is hosting the Process Palooza Networking & Happy Hour at Dirty Birds (located in the Price Center) on Wednesday, August 6 from 4:30 - 7:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, reflect on the day's events and celebrate!
