Networking Night Alternative Activities

I’m sorry that you were not able to attend the 2014 Networking Night Event, which was required for Spring 2014 and Fall 2014 College of Business Students. Our COB records indicate that you are part of that cohort. The event this year had three distinct outcomes.
