How To Network and Take Opportunities

As students, we receive lots of help from our professors through out our college experience.  But what about after college? Professors are not just resources to us while we are in school, but they are also valuable resources to us when we get out. They can provide us with contacts so that we can network, refer us for internships and jobs and also provide us with reference letters.
