Have any Question?
What’s in it for me?
TGLL is a wonderful opportunity to connect with representatives from socially active non-profit organizations! You will meet like-minded individuals to explore ideas, learn and build valuable connections.
What is networking?
Picture it as a friendly party where your career gets to mingle and make new connections, opening doors to exciting opportunities along the way!
I’ve never been to a networking event before. What can I expect?
Networking events can be intimidating but keep in mind that most of the people attending TGLL are also students looking to learn and meet people. The representatives are open to answering your questions, so come prepared. Don’t be afraid to talk to other students as well. Networking means you never know who could be your next boss, business partner, employee, or colleague!
