The Holy Cross Entrepreneurs Group of New York City held its second networking event of the year at Bryan Cave\u00a0on Wednesday\u00a0evening, July 23.\u00a0 The evening was a great success, as many alumni and students attended.\u00a0Professor David Chu, Director of the Ciocca Office of Entrepreneurial Studies & Pre-Business Adviser, also attended the event.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to those who participated on the panel, including Michael Barrett \u201984, CEO of Millenial Media, Chris Nace, \u201906 VP Executive Search at Connections NY, Colin Cunningham \u201909, Manager at Axial, and moderator Andrew Cialino \u201910, Senior Account Executive at Axial.\u00a0 A hearty thanks goes to Patricia Werner \u201997, Counsel at Bryan Cave LLP, who hosted the event at the law firm. Patricia is also a member of the Steering Committee for the Holy Cross Entrepreneurs Group of New York City, along with Daniel Barrett \u201993, Andrew Cialino \u201910, Colin Cunningham \u201909, and Chris Nace \u201906.<\/p>\n

The alumni panelists focused their insights on leveraging one\u2019s network effectively in the technology sector. With today\u2019s growing tech space, whether pertaining to startups or to the field in general, it is important to understand industry basics. More importantly, both students and alumni should know how to recognize and utilize technology\u2019s benefits in an entrepreneurial way.<\/p>\n

The panelists addressed various issues under this umbrella topic, such as how to secure a job in the tech industry, how to reach out and successfully network within the field, and what kinds of tactics both students and alumni may leverage when acclimating themselves to the tech sector.<\/p>\n

As always, this networking event successfully fostered that famous Crusader spirit and alliance, as alumni and students were brought together under the same passion for entrepreneurship. The goal of these events is to further the mission of HCEG of creating more entrepreneurial relationships, so that the Holy Cross community is not only a group of “men and women for others,” but also a community of men and women\u00a0for each other.<\/i><\/p>\n
