The Networking Experience In Washington
By Hannah Lowry
Summer 2014
When I first arrived on the scene in Washington DC, the only thing people talked about was networking. “Everyone has networking events, conference, happy hours, dinners…. Anything you could ever think of” or “Your boss will take you out to lunch or sit down with you. This is the best opportunity to network in your office. Take every chance you get!” That was all I seemed to hear in the nation’s capital. As the summer progressed, other interns from the program came home at night, ranting about an event they’d been to and about the people they’d been able to meet. Some students ordered business cards, once they realized that they had a place to distribute them.
