Today, 9/7/17, I attended the Ascend General Interest Meeting and it was a very memorable experience. So much food and refreshments were provided that there was so many left over. Their presentation was very intriguing and informative. Ascend is an organization that can help us network and connect to many professionals including big corporate sponsors. I was surprised by how many students attended the meeting today yet, I didn’t for one second feel left out or overwhelmed. All the members of the club were very welcoming and the “networking” session went surprisingly well. I got the chance to talk to all the members in the club including, many others in the room. It was like a practice test for when we really have to network with other professionals one day. I feel like I will be able to gain a lot by joining this club. Not only will they help me improve my interview and communicative skills, but they can also help build my resume. I was never a person to join any clubs but after today, I think I just might join one!
