The Wabash College Alumni and Parent Relations Office has launched a presence on the professional networking site, LinkedIn, and already nearly 550 alumni have connected with one another.
LinkedIn is an online network of more than 20 million experienced professionals from around the world, representing 150 industries.
"We’ve had hundreds of requests from alumni who wanted to identify ways in which we could foster a network of Wabash men and LinkedIn has provided the perfect vehicle for doing that," said Alumni Director Tom Runge ’71.
