As a student at Cornell, sometimes it’s okay to feel overwhelmed by the numerous number of advisors that is available. Personally, I have a faculty advisor, advising dean, pre-health advisor, major advisor, Professor Avery as a house professor, and several other mentors that I feel comfortable with sharing my doubts and concerns about anything. Building these connections is essential for a positive future in the workforce. Although I’ve heard from many different sources about the importance of networking, I’ve never really understood how significant it was until this cafe talk. Networking provides me with so many possible opportunities that I wouldn’t have known even existing. Keeping in contact with a group of professionals that are both my peers and contemporaries gives me a diverse collection of people that could drive my career path forward. I now know how important it is to attend office hours and make these connections with my professors and TAs. Although I’ve had a bad experience going to a professor’s office hours, I know that most faculty at Cornell often seek to aid their students rather than hinder their educational experience. I will push myself to extend myself towards these faculty members and make these connections and networks that will help my future.
