Mocktails & Mingling provides students an opportunity to learn how to make a good impression while mingling and dining with prospective employers, colleagues, or clients. Designed to simulate a professional networking event, students mingle with real business professionals and learn tips for getting the most out of attending business networking events, conferences, and receptions. “Mocktails” and appetizers will be served. The event is done in a “speed date” fashion. As groups of students move from table to table, local business leaders and professionals share their networking and conferencing tips, ideas, and experiences. Mocktails & Mingling provides a fun and comfortable environment to practice networking skills.

The required dress code is business casual (or better), and all VSU students are welcome. The event is free, but students must RSVP by midnight on
