Georgia Gwinnett College’s (GGC) School of Business (SBA) recently hosted Grizzly Networking Night, a popular event held each semester to connect students with professionals from the Atlanta metropolitan area. More than 100 students and representatives from local public, private, and non-profit sectors attended the event, designed to provide students with pathways to career opportunities, internships, and professional mentorship.

Initially held in the fall and spring semesters, Grizzly Networking Night’s popularity has driven organizers to expand the event to include the summer semester, creating year-round networking opportunities for GGC students. Attendees value the experience, with many students noting that the connections they made have been instrumental in shaping their professional journey. Each event enables students to gain insight from industry professionals while also strengthening the college’s partnerships within the local business community.

“This event is a testament to our commitment to student success and community engagement,” said Dr. Tyler Yu, dean of GGC’s SBA. “We’re looking forward to growing Grizzly Networking Night further and connecting with even more sectors to ensure our students have access to valuable networking experiences.”

Grizzly Networking Night is part of GGC’s ongoing efforts to produce graduates ready to meet the evolving demands of the workforce and serve as leaders in their communities.
