Annual South Bay Alumni Networking Event
Dutta attended the South Bay Networking Event held at Menlo Circus Club and hosted by Steve Herrick, BS 60. For those who missed it here is an excerpt from Dutta's blog.
"Late last month the Haas Alumni Network hosted the Annual Haas Networking Event - South Bay. This was my second time attending the event and as usual it was completely sold out soon after it was announced.
The event is held at the Menlo Circus Club and hosted by Steve Herrick, BS 60. The event starts with a reception and networking. This provides students with a friendly environment to meet alumni and peers. It is a great opportunity to know more about any person and also learn about his or her career/industry. I tried to make rounds of the room specifically trying to apply some of the tips that I learned from a "how to" networking session hosted by the Haas career services...."
