College wrestling fans who are anticipating a COVID-shortened season to begin in January were treated to a quasi dual meet Tuesday night by the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club and Wolfpack Wrestling Club.
In the NLWC Live Event 4, the WWC provided a lineup consisting of all current North Carolina State wrestlers while the NLWC offered one dominated by Penn State wrestlers but with a few club members such as Zain Retherford and Kyle Snyder spliced in for additional entertainment purposes on the freestyle card.
Although Penn State is known for its extensive network of alumni, many students never utilize this resource during their time on campus.
When she was a career counselor in the Smeal College of Business, Lisa Milne said many students cited the alumni network as the main reason they came to Penn State. But when she asked these students how they were âtapping into it,â many didnât have an answer.
To combat this deficit, the Penn State Alumni Association revamped its longstanding LionLink program in 2018.
LionLink allows students to connect with alumni for mentorship, networking and career development opportunities.
By building a personal profile around their professional interests, students can be matched with one of the approximately 13,000 active alumni users in their respective career field, according to Milne, assistant director for alumni career services.
