Networking is an essential aspect of career and professional development that involves developing new connections to gather and share career-related information, advice, and support. It is one of the best ways to gain insider knowledge about different roles and organizations and to tap into the hidden job market. To facilitate networking with CSSW alumni, the Office collaborates with the Office of Alumni Relations to organize special programs, such as the Annual Networking Night at the Columbia Club. Students also have access to the alumni directory and LinkedIn group to connect with the larger CSSW community.
