NYU-sponsored meetup at the Torch Club

Susan RoAne spoke to SCPS alumni at The Torch Club on Tuesday, October 28. In spite of the cool and stormy fall weather, a crowd showed up to learn about networking and to catch-up with alumni and friends.


Known as the “Mingling Maven,” Susan shared tips on how to network face-to-face in an increasingly digital world. Alums and guests were then able to put these tips to work in a networking exercise that got everyone talking. Throughout the evening, Susan handed out some informative tips and kept everyone entertained.


In her new book Face to Face, Susan teaches readers “how to reclaim the personal touch in a digital world.” According to Susan, “Gadgets, gizmos and Google allow us to be efficient, effective, and connected. They also help us avoid in-person interactions. Personal communication is paramount to both career and personal success – people who are ready with a handshake, an intelligent presentation, are sought after by today’s business leaders.”
