LinkedIn and Networking

What is LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is the leading professional online network. Your LinkedIn profile is an important supplement to your resume. Completing your profile allows you to connect with classmates, alumni, faculty/staff and industry professionals.

LinkedIn also allows you to research companies and employees, as well as stay current with articles on professional development.

Why should I have a LinkedIn profile?

  • Establish your professional brand
  • Expand your resume by highlighting your accomplishments (videos, projects, etc…)
  • Connect with your career community
  • Find Internship and Job opportunities
  • Explore career paths of other professionals
