Networking can be daunting… but it doesn’t have to be.

Quick advice? Focus on building a relationship, one person at a time. And focus on what you can offer the individual not just what they can offer you, in terms of advice, insights, or perspective. Start with your network, Lions. And yes, you do have a network (professors, classmates, family friends, coaches, and supervisors).
