Mocktails and Mingle: STEM is built around conversation about how people move from education into work. The event invites students to meet professionals and KU alumni from STEM fields, practice networking, ask for career advice and connect with campus resources—not attend a published technical presentation.
The event is open to students of all majors and class levels, from first year through graduate, who are interested in careers in science, technology, engineering and math. That makes it relevant to students considering how their current studies might connect to STEM work, not only to those already pursuing a technical degree.
The announced activities include talking with professionals about their career journeys and advice, building connections in pathways of interest, practicing networking skills and finding helpful on-campus resources. Working professionals and KU alumni from diverse STEM sectors are expected as conversation partners, but the event listing does not name individual guests.

KU’s Mocktails & Mingle program selects topics with student career pathways in mind. STEM is one evening in the 2026–27 schedule; Media and Communication follows on Feb. 17, and Public Service is scheduled for March 3. Those are separate editions, so the Feb. 3 gathering remains focused on STEM.
The University Career Center and KU Alumni/Jayhawk Career Network co-sponsor the event. The Engineering Career Center is named as a program partner, but the listing does not identify it as a speaker or describe a presentation.
