LinkedIn is a great social networking websites for building and maintaining professional connections.
It is important for you to begin developing your professional identity online and networking with
individuals in your industry as you begin pursuing internships and jobs. Beyond the profile and
connections, you should begin exploring the different components LinkedIn has to offer, as we
discussed in class (Jobs, Groups, etc.).
For this assignment, you will be setting up a LinkedIn profile taking the concepts from my
presentation in class and meeting the requirements below.

o
Personal Information
o
You do NOT have to provide any personal information you do not feel comfortable
providing – I do not provide any of it, because I do not want all of that information
out there
o
Customize your Profile URL (Learn How)

Begin building connections with current students, alumni, past employers/co-workers
(minimum 10)
o
Connect with Chris Lovett – you can search for my name and it will find me

by the deadline
