Connect Us (CU) Western is an organization whose goal is to remind students of the importance of local businesses and nonprofits. Oftentimes when students look to network they tend to forget about “the little guys”. The goal of the club is to create connections with local small and not-for-profit businesses who may be facing issues and have the club try to assist them with these issues while gaining meaningful networking and mentorship opportunities from these organizations. At Connect Us Western we value experiences. Our club gives students the opportunities and experiences that help them understand the professional world, and give them tips and tools to help them prepare to enter it. Within Connect Us Western, we allow students to make genuine connections with business owners and small organizations throughout our many abstract events.
