Networking host volunteers
Support the professional journeys of our students
The Seattle Colleges are only as strong as our community of partners and volunteers.
Our goal for this annual virtual event is to recruit industry professionals from various sectors willing to host one or more speed-networking sessions. This exposes students to different career paths and gives them practice networking.
Signing up
We encourage interested volunteers to sign up ASAP so that we can share with students updated lists of different industries and job titles that will be represented. Please sign up here ASAP (Original deadline - Friday, Jan 27, 2023.) Contact Emily Thurston for questions.

Thank you for taking the time to support the development of future generations of leaders!
I have my own thoughts on what I want to do after graduation, but this was helpful letting me know what a person’s day to day is like in different fields.
