On Monday, October 12, El Dorado High School\u2019s ED LAW Academy hosted its annual Networking Mixer Experience for freshmen students. The event brought together community professionals, district leaders, and site staff who volunteered their time to engage with students in meaningful conversations about future careers. As part of their preparation, freshmen designed and printed their own business cards, which they exchanged during the mixer as they practiced professional introductions and communication skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event reflects one of the ED LAW Academy\u2019s key goals, helping students develop essential networking and interpersonal skills early in their academic journey. Coordinator Sunshine Cavalluzzi shared that the emphasis on networking grew from advice gathered from alumni and colleagues who reflected on the skills they wished they had learned sooner. Each fall, this lesson culminates in the Networking Mixer, where students apply what they\u2019ve learned in a real-world setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this interactive experience, students strengthen their soft skills, gain confidence in professional interactions, and build connections with supportive members of the local community. \u201cEvery year, it’s my privilege to watch our students take this opportunity lean in to the desirable difficulty of enhancing their skills and stretching the bounds of their comfort zones, and to see them all, from those who were born ready for this event and want to do it every day to those who spent the weekend dreading it, grow from wherever they started and become more confident in themselves and what they have to share.\u201d shared Cavalluzzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
