Young Professionals Network

What are your plans for YPN?

We are looking to create a network of young professionals who can help each other adjust to working full time.  YPN is a great way to transition from being a student to full time employee.  We will have monthly events ranging from socials to workshops and constantly engage with our members through our blog and social media.

As a young professional in PR, what are you enjoying the most?  What are you finding the most challenging?

I love the amount of responsibilities I am given as an entry level employee.  The learning curve is challenging at times, but everyone is always willing to take time to sit down and help you out.  Don't be afraid to ask questions as you are learning the ropes of a new company!

How do you get involved with the Boston community?

Attend as many events as you can.  There are multiple networking events going on each night that give you a chance to learn about a wide range of topics. Everyone is excited to meet new people so don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with someone you don't know.  Also, make sure you keep in touch with the people you meet.
