Students should seek outnetworking opportunities and work on establishing professional relationships beginning in theirfreshman year and continuing to graduation. Through building their network in academia and theprofessional world, the students will find themselves with appealing job prospects andopportunities for advanced education. The pathway-to-graduate school strategy is intended toencourage all promising undergraduate students to apply for graduate school and assist them increating a portfolio which will make them competitive to receive financial support.
