Thompson said students should start establishing a net-work'of acquaintances and affiliating themselves with a mentor to help them become successful in their careers. "I think that the notion of being good at networking is one of the most important ideas you could pick up in college," Thompson said. The theory behind networking is for students to communicate with people working in specific fields they are interested in or need additional information about. Students' networks can help them find a job, acquire needed resources and gain the best education possible.

The Hepatitis-B sequence is not done at the center. Patients are referred to the Weber County Health Department or a primary care provider.

Thompson suggested students contact friends, relatives, neighbors, people from high school, work, church or clubs to find people in their field of interest.Networking consists of giving as much as taking. Students should reciprocate the help and knowledge they have received from the people in their network. "Listening, responding and saying thank you helps the person feel like they are helping you get a good start," he said. According to Thompson, many people who have done well in their careers identified a mentor. Mentors contribute to a student's success by acting as a role model, coaching and offering credibility to the student. Mentors can be found through common interests or mutual identification, he said. "Do good work, and then people will seek you out to work with them," Thompson said. Honors From frontpage day at 10:30 a.m. located at the Stewart Bell Tower Plaza.

For more pick Thompson stressed for students to broaden their horizons for higher education, even if it means moving away from home. Moving away is a correctable decision. If it doesn't work, students can move back home, he said. "Set your sights high," Thompson said. "If you are thinking about pursuing further education, you ought to go beyond a certain limited area." Besides emphasizing the importance of networking and higher education, Thompson responded to students' questions and concerns. Topics such as parking, new housing and the new diversity bill recently approved by the faculty senate were on students' minds. According to Thompson, WSU is looking at several areas in which to expand parking.
