Making connections right off the bat when entering college can be nerve wrecking. While getting out of your comfort zone is the first step, what are some unique ways incoming freshman could branch out and make new connections with others that will make them memorable?

I enjoy putting myself out there and being open to new connections, my concern is setting a great first impression right off the bat. Then especially on large campuses I anticipate it being difficult to be remembered after brief introduction. I'd love to hear people's thoughts!

Making connections in college can feel overwhelming. Start by finding professional groups related to your field, like business, medicine, or technology. Check Eventbrite and Facebook for local organizations. Look for events like mixers, happy hours, or info sessions, and sign up—these are often free. If there's a contact person listed, don't hesitate to reach out with questions.

Alumni events are another great way to connect. A librarian in your field's library can help you find alumni members or point you to someone who can. Remember, librarians are there to help you with information.

Take action and start building your network!
