Connect

"Connect" events (formerly Networking 411) are networking events designed to enhance students career understanding and build mentoring and networking relationships. 

• Connect: All Faculties mimics "speed dating" as students meet with 5-10 professionals over the course of 90 minutes. During this time, students are given the opportunity to ask career focused questions with knowledgeable industry professionals.
• Connect: Adventure Tourism is similar to the "speed-networking" format event as "Connect: All Faculties", but the mentors participate virtually via video-call. This event is specifically available to students in Adventure Tourism.
• Connect: Tourism Management is another "speed-networking" format event. Mentors can participate in-person or virtually via video-call. This event is tailored to students in any Tourism Management program. 

Meal with a Mentor 

"Meal with a Mentor" events are 1-on-1 mentoring events that take place over a meal (breakfast, for example). Students must apply in advance, and limited spaces are available. 

• Meal with a Mentor: Graduate Studies is 1 on 1 mentoring between a graduate student and a strategically paired mentor over breakfast for 40 minutes. Open to graduate students only and students must apply to participate.
