\"HCEG_Alum\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mark your calendars: the Holy Cross Entrepreneurs Group\u2019s Alumni Networking Event<\/b> is on Wednesday, October 7th<\/b>!<\/p>\n

The COES Pre-Business Office is presenting current students the opportunity to connect with alumni who are directly involved in start-ups or are involved with a business looking for start-ups as customers. Held at MIT\u2019s Sloan School of Management, the event will consist of a general networking period, allowing students to speak with alumni about their experiences, and a Q&A session with a panel of four Holy Cross alumni.<\/p>\n

The COES Pre-Business Office offers at least one networking event per semester, and has been offering this particular event since 2007. Professor David Chu suggests creating a business card for yourself (including your name, class year, email address, and cell phone number), and that you bring a few copies of your resume. In Prof. Chu\u2019s opinion, \u201cthe most important thing for a student to ask is, \u2018What do you do, and how did you get there from Holy Cross?\u2019\u201d Take this opportunity to learn from people who were in your shoes not too long ago! This is a great chance for students to make connections with HC alumni and solidify their reception networking skills.<\/p>\n
