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
