Her 3 C\u2019s are connect, collaborate, contribute, and a bonus: community.<\/p>\n<p>Summerville told the students not to be afraid to approach professionals for the purpose of networking. \u201cAsk them questions like, \u2018Is this your first time at Northern Essex?\u2019 \u2018How\u2019s your week going so far?\u2019 \u2018What are you passionate about?\u2019 \u2018What do you do in your free time?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She quoted motivational speaker Jim Rohn, who suggests that the five people you surround yourself with will shape your life, and dictate the direction of your life as well as your income. \u201cSo, if that\u2019s true, we must choose our success team wisely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The evening was hosted by NECC\u2019s Office of Career &amp; Experiential Education and Office of Alumni Relations.
