5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
At this signature event, students meet with professionals in the Forester Network for short virtual networking rounds, providing a valuable opportunity to gain career advice, practice essential networking skills, and learn about available internships and jobs.
Speed Networking is a great way for students to:
- Practice essential networking skills
- Get connected to the Forester Network within their Career Pathway and build their own professional network
- Gain industry insight from alumni and professionals in their career fields of interest
- Learn more about available internship and full-time job opportunities
This virtual experience will provide students with important preparation for the hybrid world of work in which many organizations are utilizing virtual platforms for recruiting, and provide the opportunity to connect with Foresters across the country and beyond.
