Mentor Prof Lin: Many of you can have a summer internship. And you can meet some of the colleagues who are older than you, and they have a network. Hence, informal connection is one of the methods. Secondly, some other associations are outside. If you look at the entrepreneurship Center, there are a lot of connections of groups like venture capitalists. Even if you don't have a business pitch, you can attend some of those sessions, because they always have a networking element at the end of the event. And you will have an opportunity to talk to people.
