The initiative is integral to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/qep\/life-after-mary-washington\/\">Life After Mary Washington<\/a>, the University\u2019s Quality Enhancement Plan, which supports students with the transition from academia to professional life. The platform also complements resources that prepare students to enter the workforce provided by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/careercenter\/\">Center for Career and Professional Development<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApplying for internships and jobs without a network is the hardest way to get hired,\u201d Colette Strawn Johnson \u201997 told Stil. Working in data analytics for an educational nonprofit, Johnson offered to introduce her to a UX designer on her team.<\/p>\n<p>A Mary Washington alum helped Johnson find her first job after college, and now she does the same for UMW students. Serving on the Alumni Association Board of Directors, she leads the Career Connections committee, which arranges professional headshots for juniors and seniors, plans speed networking events and invites alumni back to campus \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/giving.umw.edu\/blog\/2024\/01\/30\/baseball-executive-alum-encourages-students-to-take-risks-build-relationships\/\">such as Major League Baseball executive Jin Wong &#8217;97<\/a>, who visited in January \u2013 to speak about their careers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt each event, we\u2019re talking up Network MaryWash,\u201d said Johnson, who worked with Executive Director of Alumni Engagement Mark Thaden \u201902 to implement the Protopia platform.
