🏢 Hosted by Sprott School of Business
The Sprott School of Business is hosting a Community Net Night at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa. This networking event takes place in the evening and provides students with an opportunity to connect with the broader Sprott community, including fellow students, alumni, faculty, and potentially industry professionals. The event is held at one of Ottawa’s landmark cultural institutions, creating a unique and memorable setting for professional networking. This is part of Sprott’s ongoing efforts to help students build their personal and professional networks.
Why it’s worth going
Networking events like this one offer finance and accounting students a chance to meet alumni and professionals who have already navigated the career paths students are considering, providing valuable insights and potential mentorship opportunities. The venue at the Canadian Museum of Nature creates a relaxed, interesting atmosphere that makes networking feel less formal and more approachable than traditional business settings. Building connections with the Sprott community can lead to job referrals, informational interviews, and a stronger sense of belonging within your business school.
Going in prepared
Prepare a concise introduction about yourself that includes your name, program, year of study, and what you’re hoping to achieve in your career—practice this beforehand so it sounds natural rather than rehearsed. Bring business cards if you have them, and make sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date since many networking contacts will want to connect with you online after the event. Arrive closer to the 5:00 p.m. start time rather than later to maximize your networking opportunities, and be ready to engage in conversations beyond just business by showing genuine interest in the people you meet.
