LinkUp is an exciting networking and micro-mentoring event that connects current Arts & Sciences (A&S) students with A&S alumni and friends of the College.

This is the 10th year of this event and we are excited to bring alumni and students together for an evening of information sharing and connections. 

Designed to be casual, informal and approachable, this annual event encourages students majoring in social sciences and humanities to explore career pathways and learn from alumni and friends of the College.

Event Details

Please note that students and mentors have different arrival times.

• Students attend from 4:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Student Registration

• Mentors attend from 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Mentor Registration

This event will have several rounds of connections. The first round will be a warmup, students and mentors will be paired randomly. After the first round of connections, students will have a chance to connect with mentors of their choice. We will have information at each table listing mentor backgrounds for students to select mentors with similar interests who are able to attend the in-person event.

Prior to the networking rounds, students will participate in a short workshop where they learn the basics of networking, practice introducing themselves, and how to request future informational conversations from professional mentors.

Why participate in LinkUp?

Students receive answers to professional and personal questions and concerns from people who have similar degrees and interests. Meet with people who don't have linear pathways who can provide lots of insight to the career process.

Mentors benefit by helping students navigate the road ahead - making an impact. LinkUp also provides the opportunity to reflect on your experiences and knowledge.

Focused on College of Arts and Sciences students, but all SU students are welcome to participate.
