Upcoming Networking Nights at the Career Development Center

Did you know that networking is the most effective way to find a job or internship? Many students shy away from networking simply because they haven’t had much practice. The Networking Night Series is a collaborative event hosted by the IU Career Development Center and the IU Student Alumni Association. It is a night created to give students the opportunity to learn the art of networking through interaction with professionals in their field of interest.

The event begins with a 45-minute panel discussion with professionals who have careers in social service and non-profit. Following the discussion, students will listen to a brief presentation on the art of networking. They will then participate in a catered networking reception where they can speak individually with panelists and practice their skills.

The Networking Night Series is solely an opportunity for students to obtain information about specific careers and to network with invited panelists. There is no expectation that interviews, internships, or jobs will be offered.

All events are held at the DeVault Alumni Center from 6:30-8:30 pm.
Students can register online at IUCareers.com.
