It's hard to believe that the hustle and bustle of the school year is over and summer is in full swing!

As part of Manifest last month, alumni across cohorts opened their homes and tables to host intimate dinners for soon-to-be graduates across San Francisco.

These alumni-hosted meals created space for meaningful conversations in a relaxed and informal setting - welcoming M26 into the alumni community while sharing stories, reflections, career journeys, life updates, and lessons from both Minerva and life after graduation.

From mentorship to honest conversations and unexpected connections, each dinner reflected the warmth, generosity, and global spirit of the Minerva community. Thank you to all of our incredible alumni hosts for creating such thoughtful spaces for connection and celebration!
