Today was the first day of classes here at Mizzou. I had Applied Macroeconomics followed by Accounting 1 followed by lunch and a nap which were unfortunately followed by another cold trek to Switzler Hall on the other side of campus where I was met with the most perplexing desks I have ever seen in a classroom.
As the other students entered the room, almost everyone of them pulled out an iPhone, Droid, or Crackberry. Several came in listening to iPods, some with music loud enough to be overheard from across the room. I admit, I pulled out my measly Samsung Sunburst to tweet about the amount of cell phones I could see. All of this raises a greater question, "If we are so on tap with the world outside of the classroom we are in, how do we connect with more people, expanding our networks?"
I have reincarnated my Twitter account recently. This is a
great networking tool to give you an opportunity to connect with
businesses and individuals with similar interests. I urge all of you to
give it a try if you haven't already.
After this wonderful Communications class, I went to work for a while. I discussed with a dear adviser and mentor of mine the networking possibilities available at the Missouri Governor's Conference on Agriculture. I am very excited for the opportunity to connect with all of these great industry professionals in a few days. Let's hope Julia can find an internship too while we are at it.
