Professional Connections Event

October 2025

Student speaking with employersThe Professional Connections Event is our premier, invite-only annual gathering, bringing together 30–40 of our top partner firms actively seeking to recruit students for summer internships and post-graduate employment opportunities.

Organized in a “speed networking” format, this dynamic event allows students from both the PFP major and minor to engage in 7–8 minute sessions with each attending firm. Each round includes a brief introduction, an elevator pitch from the student, and a Q&A session—before the bell rings and students rotate to the next table. Students exploring post-grad roles are given extended time with each firm to dive deeper into conversations.

This event is one of the most energizing and impactful career experiences of the year. Many students receive internship offers on the spot or are invited to second-round interviews in the days following, based solely on these powerful first impressions.

Even first-year students are encouraged to participate, offering them a valuable opportunity to network early and gain confidence in a low-pressure setting.

Whether you're looking to land your next opportunity or make meaningful professional connections, the Professional Connections Event is the place to be.
