Ready, Set, Connect: Student & Alumni Speed Networking Event

This event will bring together JCU students and alumni professionals from across NE Ohio. Based on the popular speed dating concept, this event is designed to introduce you to 10-15 alumni participants that will help increase your professional network. Students will learn how to make a good first impression, ask questions about different career paths and gain valuable networking experience. Alumni will talk about their post-college job experience, share networking tips and provide advice on this valuable career skill.

Participants will be provided a packet upon arrival at the event that includes sample questions and guidelines for the evening.  The structure of the evening will be as follows:

5 p.m. – Bus Transportation leaves from the Pool Desk at JCU
6-6:30 p.m. – Registration
6:30-7:30 p.m. – Structured Speed Networking
7:30-8:30 p.m. – Reception & mingling
8:30 p.m. – Bus Departs from Pickwick & Frolic to return to campus
