What students and alumni are saying about their networking experience:

“The alumni networkers were very easy to talk to and willing to help me with my job search.  They gladly offered some advice and even provided me with great contact information! I am now talking to some potential employers in Burlington and also in talks to find a summer internship.”
-Tucker Litchfield Lyman, ’09 – Economics Major

“I really enjoyed hearing about the current job market and any advice offered on how to approach the initial job search when you graduate from college. I thought the interview and networking tips were especially helpful.”
