2. On behalf of the UC Berkeley business and professional communities,
Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) and ABA would
like to invite you to our fifth annual joint networking dinner,
Nexus: Creating Connections.
ABOUT NEXUS
Nexus: Creating Connections, ABA & PBL’s largest professional event of the fall, provides
undergraduate students with career opportunities and relevant exposure. It was created to
fulfill the growing student demand for professional networking opportunities. In hosting this
event, both organizations hope to create an intimate setting in which company representatives
can network with students to cultivate long-term professional relationships.
From its origins, Nexus has been a huge asset to the UC Berkeley community, and was
supported by groups such as the ASUC, Haas School of Business, and many others including
Google and Deloitte. Last year, we hosted over 150 students and 35 representatives of 20+
companies.
This October, ABA & PBL cordially invite you to Nexus: Creating Connections for an evening
of wonderful food, entertainment, and opportunities.
As a thriving organization in the San Francisco Bay Area, you will have the unique
opportunity to enjoy dinner with highly motivated and experienced students from University
of California, Berkeley, the world’s premier public university.

6. ABOUT US
We’re James and Joanne, the Professional Chairs
of Berkeley ABA and two of the four who
will be leading Nexus. Collectively, we’ve had
experience with different networking dinners as
well as working with various companies to hold
collaborative events.
Once the fall semester starts at UC Berkeley,
we select eight committee members through
a rigorous interview process. The Professional
Committee typically selects eight students out
of 120+ applicants, and this selectively ensures a
committee of diverse, qualified, intelligent, and
well-rounded students.
Together with our committee, the two of us will
direct and facilitate their work, assigning tasks
and deadlines. In addition, our mentors will be
overlooking the process, teaching vital skills that
our committee members may lack and ensuring
a successful networking dinner.
We’re Kenny and Emily, the Professional
Development Chairs of PBL and two of the four
who will be leading Nexus.
As the Professional Development Chairs, we
will be mentoring six individuals throughout
the semester. We focus on developing a holistic
profile by providing workshops on key topics
such as resumes, interviews, and cover letters;
opportunities to explore various careers and
network with alumni mentors; and a walk-
through of the full recruitment process using
tools such as LinkedIn.
We believe in bringing diverse individuals
together to develop a special network for the
development of PBL. Further, we hope to involve
the larger Berkeley community in networking
with professionals and other highly motivated
students through this networking dinner.
