Speed Networking

Do you feel the need for speed?

Speed Networking is coming to Ashland University on March 24, 2009. The event will kick off at 7:30 pm. 20 alumni and/or area professionals will be participating in the event. Speed Networking is designed for the busy professional to meet as many contacts in as little time as possible. It is the catalyst for starting a professional network.

Students will rotate every 3 minutes down the row of professional networkers. They will have time to
introduce themselves, swap contact information, and discuss their career objectives. After the event, participants will have the opportunity to continue building on the professional networks they have built as a result of Speed Networking by keeping in contact with the professionals.

For more information or to sign up for speed networking, contact Nicole Hamilton at nhamilt2@ashland.edu.
