The Great Discovery ROADMAP to BOLD NETWORKING AS A FIRST-GENERATIONCOLLEGE STUDENT Dear Students,

When attending college, it is essential to remember the end goal: to gain enough experience to thrive in your future career properly. The most significant difference between high school and college is the freedom and autonomy over your success. To contribute to your success, every institution has resources to help you take the next step as a growing professional. In your journey through college, you will discover just how vital building connections are and how to use networking to advance in your career field. Building connections in college can lead you down the road to success. The beauty of college is the different people you will meet from various backgrounds trying to make a way in their respective fields. One of the ways you can build connections is through networking, traditionally between professionals and aspiring professionals, where they exchange information to help further career goals and social contacts. It may be difficult breaking out of your comfort zone and talking to people you have never met. We at Campus Dining at Thompson Hospitality can help!

Sincerely,
