The Connecticut Network
Connecting comes natural in the provisions state and the provisions come in the form of over 1,500 DU constituents looking to network! The Connecticut Network hosts a wide variety of events for new graduates and seasoned professionals alike through baseball outings, watch parties and our annual Day of Service. The Connecticut Network is eager to connect with you and is open to alumni, parents, current students and friends of DU. Connect with your Network Leaders below or reach out to your staff liaison to learn how to get connected. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Meet Joe Borelli
Hello! I graduated from DU and the Daniels School of Business in 2010 with a major in Finance. I currently work for Merrill Lynch on a wealth management team in Greenwich CT that manages 600 million in assets. I live in downtown Greenwich CT and loves going out to eat with friends in NYC, cheering on the NY Rangers & Giants and of course the DU hockey team, hiking in the Catskill Mountains and going to concerts. I was involved in coordinating some of the alumni events in 2019 in Fairfield county and enjoy meeting and networking with local Pioneers and is eager to help get alumni meetups and events going again in the NY and CT areas!
