Community business leaders and YPN members are invited to join us for this one-hour event designed to assist MSSU students in the art of networking. Volunteers will interact with the students, provide feedback and answer questions about networking (everything from what makes a good handshake to how to juggle food and talking at an event). We ask that each volunteer bring a business card to leave at the event so we may provide a list of volunteers with company information to the students after the event. Networking 101 is NOT a recruiting event for businesses. This event is designed to be an informative and educational experience for students to better understand professional networking. 

If you are interested in participating as a networking volunteer, please sign up using the link below.
