(If you can make it … we'd love to know!)

Ever find yourself in a room full of strangers at a reception or other kind of shindig, and not know how to approach someone? Make small talk? Network? In fact, just what does it mean to "network?" "Networking 101: How to Make Any Situation a Networking Opportunity," led by our very own director of career services, John Bradac, is where you want to be.

Senior Class and Alumni Happy Hour: It's not just for students and alumni. The campus community is warmly invited to join in on this traditional annual event. Mix and mingle. Practice your networking skills …

Now that the semester has started, do you wish you had gotten a chance to discuss this year's First-Year Reading Initiative book selection, Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father? Here's another chance. President Tom Rochon will be there to join in on the discussion.
