Networking Dinner

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 50

For the Networking dinner I was able to invite all of my Academy of Finance classes to the dinner. In doing so I was able to teach the students about networking prior to the event, we were also able to discuss professional dress. These concepts are very important to students that are interested in business and finance. I invited all of my classes so I was able to teach these concepts to all the classes prior to the event. At the dinner the students were able to put what they learned to practice. The students all looked very professional and were able to speak with many different professionals from different business-related fields. At the event the students engaged in discussions to help them plan for the future. After the event I survey the students and the overwhelming response was that the event was a success and it was a great learning experience for the students. Having the event also allowed my classes to speak about why going to a networking event in the future will be beneficial to the students. I believe the event was extremely beneficial to the students and an evening they won’t soon forget. I also hope that some of the students made some connections that will help them in the future.
