In a Rush? Try Speed Networking
Looking to maximize your contacts in the minimum amount of time and meet experts who can guide you in your field? Try speed networking. This fall, Adelphi offers two events to students and alumni—one for those interested in communications and a second one for those interested in social work. Both evenings will feature a line-up of alumni who are highly accomplished in their fields who, in short sessions, will advise attendees on breaking into and moving up within their professions.
The first Speed Networking event for communications professionals will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Warwick Hotel in Manhattan. The event is part of the Office of Alumni Relations' Insights and Connections Series and was planned in conjunction with University Advancement, the Center for Career Development, the School of Business, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Center for Student Involvement.
If you're in social work, join the C.O.A.C.H.: School of Social Work Speed Networking event on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Center for Recreation and Sport's Campbell Lounge.
