Alumni Friday: it's not all about you...

_{Let's shift the focus!}

Networking is usually something we think about when we need something - like making a career move.

The purpose of Alumni Friday is to make networking a regular habit.

What if this Alumni Friday you kept others in mind too? You might see an event, an article or a job posting you know would be of interest to someone else. Perhaps check-in with a former mentee (or mentor). Meet with a fellow alum or an alumni volunteer. Ask the question: "How can I help you?"

Looking for some ideas? Here's a fun listen where I was interviewed by UBC Student Alumni Council members Taarika Dajani and Elliott Gee for the TUUM EST podcast on the value of alumni connection.

Happy weekend!

_{Yours with alumni inspiration,}
