W&M Online Networking Hours
Hundreds of alumni since November have already taken part in new monthly online networking hours designed to connect fellow members of the W&M Tribe from all over the world in order to share experiences, exchange career tips and build professional networks.

The chats are text-based and timed, allowing you to make connections, exchange contact information and end the hour with several new connections you didn't have before. So far, the networking hours have given participants the opportunity to explore connections by industry, interests or by regional affinity. If you're interested in learning more about upcoming online networking hour opportunities, visit wmalumni.com or contact Michael Steelman, William & Mary's director of Alumni Career Management and Professional Networks at masteelman@wm.edu.
