Date: February 13, 2026
Time: 1:30 – 2:30 PM
Location: Peterson Hall Room 101
Hosted by: Simply Youth Institute (SYI)
Celebrate You is a self-love–centered speed networking experience bringing together SYI interns, University of Oregon students, college students, and community sponsors for an hour of meaningful connection, reflection, and professional growth.
Rooted in our theme of Self-Celebration, this event reimagines networking as an affirming, human experience — one where participants are encouraged to show up as their full selves, honor their journey, and recognize their strengths.
Through guided prompts, short connection rounds, and intentional moments of reflection, attendees will:
-
Practice speaking about themselves with confidence and clarity
-
Build authentic connections with sponsors and peers
-
Reflect on personal growth, goals, and future pathways
-
Experience networking as energizing rather than intimidating
This is not transactional networking — it is relational.
Whether you are exploring career paths, growing your professional confidence, or seeking community, Celebrate You creates space to be seen, heard, and valued.
What to Expect
-
Guided speed-networking rounds
-
Self-celebration reflection prompts
-
Supportive, welcoming atmosphere

Intentional connection across students, interns, and sponsors
No prior networking experience required.
