As I think of what this Villanova Alumni Club will be for the 2025-2026 year, something that has come to my mind is the power of networking. I book marked this Linked In post from a while back and am trying to get back to this "online filing cabinet" vs. screenshots on my phone.
In the post I saved, the author says, "If the networking involves nametags and drink tickets, you're not networking, you're just working. If you want to build a strong network, it's simple. Build something that matters with other people. Be curious about other people. Help them. Drink a beer (or a coffee), play sports (or do a service event...), live life with them and your list of networked connections will grow.
