In partnership with Career Crush and Alumni Relations, the UMBC Student Alumni Association (SAA) is proud to host the 5th annual Sweeten Up Your Network event; a networking event for students and alumni from all majors and years.

Students: This event will allow you to learn and practice effective networking skills, get beyond feeling awkward, how to hand-out business cards like a pro, and how to turn meeting someone for the first time into a memorable and successful experience. Students will get the opportunity to network with many successful UMBC alumni from diverse majors as they share some of their experiences and tips for making the most of your time at UMBC.

Alumni: What do you wish you had known about life after college while you were still a student? Join SAA for a networking event and give back to UMBC. Get to know some current students while offering them useful life advice and helping them to polish their networking skills. Alumni are invited to share their experiences and give students a realistic picture of their respective fields. To attend and volunteer to participate, please RSVP.

In addition to the networking there will be refreshments and raffle prizes. Students and alumni are encouraged to wear business attire. Questions? Contact Jess El-Zeftawy ('08, '12), in the Office of Alumni Relations, at jbard1@umbc.edu or 410-455-1678.
