Let the professor know that it will be a great class, and you will enjoy their class.<\/li>\n<li>Ask a question. Raise your hand and ask a question about something that you have already read from the course material.<\/li>\n<li>Keep in touch. Professors spend many hours in their offices when they are not teaching classes. Use those office hours, to stop by and get connected with your professor.<\/li>\n<li>Join a Club. Creating relationships and allies with different departments such as the writing studio, student clubs, the library, and career services is an important key for doing better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dr. Kohrs also mentioned Small World Theory \/ Six degrees of Separation, which is the amount of degrees you are away from knowing someone. \u00a0Small World Theory expresses that we have friends who have friends and so on, proving we have unlimited connections available to us. \u00a0On average each one of us has about 100 \u2013 150 connections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course it\u2019s about who you know, as Dr. Kohrs emphasized in his presentation at SPC Clearwater Campus on April 20, 2017. \u00a0Dr. Kohrs, a SPC Clearwater Alumni, explained the importance of Social Networking for a successful future. \u00a0He shared with the audience his experience from his high school years all the way to today, &hellip;
