Business Cards[]

Business cards are a quick and simple way to network. Saying hello to someone and leaving them with a business card gives them a quick reminder of who you are. If your program doesn't provide business cards, there are many sites (vistaprint, freebusinesscards) that will provide free or very low cost business cards.

    • “I’ll be sure to say hi to Dr. Soandso for you”
    • “I’ll find that article and email it to you”

4. Follow Up[]
