Seniors Get a Lesson in LinkedIn

Before moving on to college and beyond, the MBS Senior Class got a lesson in LinkedIn, a social media platform geared towards professional networking.  The workshop, led by Beth Hendler-Grunt of Next Great Step, was conducted in collaboration with the MBS Alumni Relations Office and was suggested by MBS alumnus Tyler Smith ’15. 

During the hour-long workshop, Ms. Hendler-Grunt discussed the importance, proper usage, and setup process for this powerful networking tool. 

At the end of the seminar, students were encouraged to build their own LinkedIn profile, watch the “LinkedIn for College Students” video, and connect with everyone in the room. Students were also asked to join the “Morristown-Beard School Alumni” LinkedIn page, and were reminded to update their profiles in college after the start of the fall semester.

“We are excited for this opportunity to educate the seniors with the networking and communication benefits that the LinkedIn platform offers,” said Kevin McDonald, Dean of the Class of 2019. “By having them build their profiles and make connections before they enter college, we feel that they will be positioned ahead of the curve.”
