Our Network
A network built by hand.
Forum LVI is built by UD students, one relationship at a time, from the people most invested in UD's future: alumni, parents, friends of the University, and DFW professionals who want to help.
Run by students.
Built on real relationships.
Forum LVI is a UD student organization, led by students, that exists to make one kind of thing happen: a UD student and a working professional talking.
Introductions that come with a name attached.
When you connect with a professional through Forum LVI, you're being introduced through a relationship someone at Forum LVI has already built. They're expecting students like you. They want to talk.
- Alumni and friends of UD who actively want to give back
- Every professional vetted by Forum LVI leadership
- DFW professionals tied to UD by relationship
- Introductions arranged and coached by Forum LVI
A student-run channel that respects your time.
You're engaging with UD students directly, through people who take it seriously. That means well-organized events, students who show up prepared, and a leadership team that protects your time and signal-to-noise.
- Coordinated by Forum LVI's student leadership
- Motivated, prepared UD students
- Privacy controls — your contact info stays private
- Recognition at Forum LVI events and on our site
Who's in the network.
Three groups of people make up the network.
Friends of UD

- Senior executives
- Parents of UD students
- Long-tenure UD champions
UD Alumni
Graduates who've been where you're sitting and know what UD prepares you for — across decades of classes, every major industry, and every level of seniority.

- Senior alumni (referrals & introductions)
DFW Partners
Non-alumni DFW professionals tied to UD by relationship — through alumni, parents, or close friends of the University.
- DFW employers actively hiring
- Mission-aligned professionals
