The Faculty Club is a business secret on campus. As a mentor to students and young alumni I always mention it's THE place to start a conversation, build a relationship or close a deal both in the pub and restaurant. I used it as a staff member in pursuit of support for the university and continue to do in my work and life. Business (clients, sales, networking) or pleasure (weddings, celebrations, keeping in touch) the club does the work to make you shine and help you succeed. There are so many events held by the club to help you, it was like business development training wheels! I also include that a big part of my professional success can all be traced back to Leanne's seminars on etiquette at my college when I was a student! Thanks Leanne and the faculty club for supporting alumni in our careers and lives!
