Join us and fellow like-minded professionals for a virtual presentation by Nate Towne of Christopher Hastings Confections with tips and tricks on effectively marketing yourself and creating your own personal brand.

Networking can be one of the most powerful activities an individual can do to build, launch and accelerate their career. Fostering and establishing an interconnected group of relationships with others is a means of surviving both personally and professionally. Whether student, a young or seasoned professional, having a network of people you can tap into for information, advice and opportunities, while sharing your own, is key to our successes.
