"The monthly introductions make it easy for me to connect with others. In one such case, our conversation was truly a sharing of information as we discussed career paths, keeping our skills relevant in the ever-changing world of work and recognizing transferable skills. While LinkedIn is a great resource for networking, Ten Thousand Coffees allows me to connect specifically with Laurier alumni."
