Events/Networking

During your studies at Sobey School of Business, one of the most valuable lessons you will learn is the importance of building and maintaining a professional network. You will use this to generate a smooth transition from student to professional.

There are many opportunities for you to expand your network. This can be done through events hosted on campus, competitions, industry events, and LinkedIn among many others. You will draw on this network of people and businesses when progressing through your career and professional ambitions.

Our bi-weekly newsletter, Career Connections, showcases opportunities and events aimed at students in each edition. There is a vast community of entrepreneurs, small business owners, partnerships and organizations who put on events throughout the city all the time. Below are a few links to help jumpstart your volunteering or networking strategy.
