 Value of Networking

Survey results indicate that many college graduates feel that the greatest benefit of their college years was the expansion of their social horizons—the personal growth that results from meeting new people, making new friends, companionship, and sharing new experiences, frequently referred to as networking. Many report that they were aided in finding the job they wanted or in the advancement of their career by help they got from friends made during their college years. College graduates describe the value of these networks as having expanded their horizons from the tribal village to the global village.
