-: Network with any alumni that will respond to your,
any of your emails or LinkedIn messages.
And then start talking to as many alumni as possible.
From then, try to then reach out to people that are
on the Board of Trustees,
or some other more prominent alumni.
And just kind of start really networking
within the Pomona network.
And the emails could be very simple,
just, "Hey, I wanna be a politics major.
And you're a politics major.
What did you do with your major?"
Something simple like that.
And people will tend to respond.
So, yeah, I would say networking.
And then from there, you can ask people,
you can reach out at people that are in sales
with
people that are in sales.
And you can just ready out to them,
and like, "Hey, I'm trying to start a company.
And I'm curious about sales.
Can you help me out?"
And just basically, that's the best thing that people,
a student can do, is just build your network,
ask as many people as possible about their experiences.
And then, yeah.
What I will actually recommend people,
is I took two independent study courses,
classes here at Pomona.
So by that, it made sense that you come up with
your own curriculum, of something you want to learn.
And then, get a professor and a department chair
to kinda sign off on that, and become the advisors for that.
But, not necessarily just taking a class
that Pomona offers, but doing something that combines,
take something that a Pomona class has,
but then how can you add your own twist to it?
And then, for example, if there are no
specific sales classes at Pomona,
how can you take an existing class,
and take part of the curriculum, or something like that.
And then kind of add your own twist to it.
So I would say that's something that I,
that the two classes of mine
that
did so much for me.
Obviously, you meet with the professors,
and the advisors, and all that.
But being able to have that flexibility at Pomona,
I would say that's something that I don't know if a lot
of people take advantage of that.
