assignment 4.0 Networking Event: reflection

The requirements for this project were to attend two professional networking events within the Piedmont Triad, or surrounding areas. I attended a lecture presented by the NC Triad Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association and a lecture series sponsored by The Antique and Design Center at the High Point Furniture Market. At the first event, Jack Davis, Dean of Architecture at Virginia Tech, presented innovative strategies that the architecture program at VA Tech values. The second event was very beneficial and allowed for many networking connections. The speaker talked about the importance of social media and its relevance to design professionals. Both events were insightful as a future designer.
