Networking Programs
Networking. We all do it, but what is it? Networking is defined formally as the exchange of information and ideas amongst colleagues in a social setting. Social networking is a perfect example of this. Professionally, LinkedIn has emerged as the dominant networking tool, but there are international networking tools such as ASW (A Small World) and Nomad List for digital nomads. At Supportive Colleges, we took a deeper look at colleges that have woven networking into the fabric of their school. While this level of support appears to be intangible, by examining tangible items such as the number of registered alumni on social platform sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Payscale, we can get a picture of their digital footprint. Combine this with integrated offline events and we can get a good glimpse into how active the college is in networking. Do not be alarmed by the disparity in the number of Facebook followers per school. What is most important, is the number of active alums in each school and the method in which each school activates their alumni population.
You will see the schools listed by their digital networking footprint and highlighted premier alumni networking events.
