Dorothy, Interesting assignment about networking. Where does that fit within your list of employment skills assignments? We think that students have to be prepared to reach out and talk to people. They certainly need a high level of confidence, which takes time to build. Perhaps they also need a "script" or talking points to connect with the people at the locations and explain what they want to do. This is a great idea. It is amazing how much preparation is needed to make it work. thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
