Rochester Networking Group

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, you should check out the events calendar for Rochester Young Professionals (RYP). It's a local group that gets together every now and then to network, give back to the community, or just hang out at a cool new restaurant in the city. It's comprised of college students, recent grads, and young professionals (hence the name) who recently entered the workforce.

Visit the link above to find out about specific events, such as wine and food tastings, benefit walks, and conferences. These are all excellent opportunities to network with the up and coming individuals of Rochester as well as some seasoned business professionals. While becoming a member of RYP is free, the events may cost a fee for admission - some events provide a discount for RYP members though!

If nothing else, joining in some of these events will get you off your couch. But try to take advantage of all the possibilities that come out of professional networking.

Welcome back!

Welcome back! Now that the first couple hectic weeks are over, I finally have time to update my blog. I find that coming back to school is always extremely busy in the first week: purchasing a parking pass, buying books, remembering how long it takes to find a parking spot (if you're a commuter) or remembering how long it takes to walk from the high-rises to Hartwell. Plus, there's the added excitement of seeing friends again after months of being away.

In addition to all of that, I've been celebrating my birthday for almost a week straight with family and friends. It's been a blast, but I guess it's time to get back to work. I'll be posting some new stuff soon! In the meantime, you could take the new networking poll.

Have a great semester!
