Young Professionals - Why Join?

Remember that first intimidating networking event you attended post-graduation? We’ve all been there. Now, we have the chance to be the person we wish we’d met when we were starting out. We’re teaming up with Western Technical College to help students practice their introductions, share advice, and ask questions they wish they knew before graduation. Stop by for the entire event (with the lunch and panel), or just the networking portion!
