Networking

Networking isn’t merely the exchange of information with others. Networking is about establishing and nurturing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with the people you meet. You don’t have to join several professional associations and attend every networking event that comes your way in order to be a successful networker. In fact, there are networking opportunities all around campus every day.
