What is Life Ready?
Go forth knowing you’re ready for…anything.

Connect what you know
with who you know
Because connecting sounds better than networking
It sounds awful, we know…networking with people you don’t know. Most students despise it. However the result could be a relationship that is key to your career.
“You coached me at the Career Fair, helped me through the application process, and finally gave me valuable information on how to interview. What you and your office do is amazing, and I will forever be grateful.” K. Flaherty - '19, Computer Science
