How do I find connections for internships and jobs while still in my undergrad?
As a third year undergraduate student working to earn my B.A. in Language Speech and Hearing Science there is much for me to prepare for to be successful before I apply for a masters program. Caught up in assignments, it can be difficult to focus on growing those connections that will benefit you post-grad, what do you recommend?

Hello! It can definitely be hard to build connections while having to juggle assignments and life in general while attending school. As you are getting closer to graduating and taking more classes related to your degree rather than general education classes (although this can differ depending on your own experience and curriculum), you are most likely taking classes with professors related to your degree. I would build connections with these professors, as they can provide you with opportunities in the future. This can include visiting their office hours and asking questions related to the career you are interested in. Networking is key, especially after you graduate. Attending a career fair (provided by your school) is another option that can give you opportunities for an internship. I hope this helps!
