A Student Guide to Networking – 2019-2020 
You may have heard that in the internship/research/job search, “It’s not what you know; it’s who you 
know.” We would argue that it’s both. You will not be selected if you are not qualified, but who you know 
helps you discover career opportunities and often, be considered for them.  
 
In college, you should develop a strong network, a group who informs and supports one another’s 
professional journey, including REUs, internships, jobs and graduate school. This guide provides 
advice on how to build this network NOW - before you need a job or apply to graduate school.  
Typical Networking Events 
You have many avenues to build professional relationships as you get to know faculty, advisors, 
peers, alumnae, recruiters, and professionals in your desired career field. See chart below.

What to Wear 
Networking attire ranges from business casual to interview wear. 
Business casual consists of a tailored shirt and pants/skirt.  
Note: skinny jeans are NOT tailored pants. Avoid clothes that 
are too short, too skimpy, or sheer. For interview/business 
dress, a suit is required.  
 
For any occasion, comfortable, close-toed dress shoes are 
needed. Also, invest in a dark-colored tote to store your padfolio, 
business cards, and resume copies.   
 
Need professional clothing? Email mzacarias@agnesscott.edu to ask for suggestions for free or reduced price 
professional attire. 
 
 
 
Networking Do(s) 
Prepare for the Event/Meeting 
• Research organization/professional(s) to prepare good questions. 
• Update/create professional toolkit: resume, LinkedIn profile. Attend events 
with the Office of Internship and Career Development to earn points for Agnes 
Scott College business cards with your LinkedIn URL and major.  
• Practice introducing yourself & answering common questions. (See below) 
Establish Rapport / Introduce Yourself 
• Introduce yourself with a firm handshake: “Hello, my name is ____; I’m a sophomore at Agnes Scott College.” 
• Maintain eye contact and smile. 
• Make a point to remember/write down names. 
Engage in Conversation 
• Ask open-ended questions to encourage others to open up and share.  
o What is your personal experience with this organization? Group?  
o If alumnae, ask about common ASC connections – major, dorm, career path post-Agnes?  
o Tell me about your career journey. What advice do you have for a college student?  
• Listen actively – eye contact, smile, nod of agreement – to show you are listening. 
• Be prepared to answer common questions:  
o What brought you to this event? What are your career interests? 
o What do you like about Agnes Scott?  What are you studying?

o Last semester, I took a course in (course name), and it really sparked my interest in (area of interest). I 
am looking for an internship/summer research in (area). 
o I am hoping to learn more about opportunities to apply my interest in (area).  
Convey Professional Presence 
• Be on time to events and meetings; don’t stay past end time unless host/contact invites you to stay. 
• After an appropriate amount of time, it is fine to convey “nice to meet you” and move on to talk to others. 
Networking Don’t(s) 
• Avoid alcohol if you are under 21 and don’t have more than one drink if you are over 21. 
• Do not wear heavy perfume or smoke before/during the event. 
• Avoid bringing up controversial subjects that derail the conversation such as politics, religion, or sex. 
• Make sure not to monopolize conversation or a professional contact, limiting their ability to speak with others. 
Afterward: Cultivate the Relationship 
Send a thank you email AND personalized connection request on LinkedIn: 
“It was great meeting you at (event). Thank you for your time and insight on (topic). I would like to stay in touch.” 
Keep in touch & pay it forward. See below for ways you can help your contacts: 
• Refer them to relevant books, articles, news, or events of interest 
• Follow and share information about their organization with others (online or in person)  
• Introduce them to others who might help them in their job or volunteer causes 
• Congratulate them on achievements (you will receive updates about them from LinkedIn)

Agnes Scott College Department of Public Safety

2019 Agnes Scott College Fire Safety Policy and Annual Fire Safety Report 
 
 INTRODUCTION  
 
Agnes Scott College is committed to providing a fire-safe environment for the faculty, staff, students and 
visitors, and to protecting its property through an effective fire prevention, protection, preparedness 
and response program. The following policies are in effect to assist the campus community in working 
together to maintain an environment that reduces the risk of fire hazards. 
 
Definitions 
 
Cause of fire: The factor or factors that give rise to a fire. The causal factor may be, but is not limited to, 
the result of an intentional or unintentional action, mechanical failure, or act of nature. 
Fire: Any instance of open flame or other burning in a place not intended to contain the burning or in an 
uncontrolled manner. 
Fire drill: A supervised practice of a mandatory evacuation of a building for a fire. 
Fire-related injury: Any instance in which a person is injured as a result of a fire, including an injury 
sustained from a natural or accidental cause, while involved in fire control, attempting rescue, or 
escaping from the dangers of the fire. The term “person” may include students, employees, visitors, 
firefighters, or any other individuals. 
Fire-related death: Any instance in which a person— 
(1) Is killed as a result of a fire, including death resulting from a natural or accidental cause while 
involved in fire control, attempting rescue, or escaping from the dangers of a fire; or 
(2) Dies within one year of injuries sustained as a result of the fire. 
Fire safety system: Any mechanism or system related to the detection of a fire, the warning resulting 
from a fire, or the control of a fire. This may include sprinkler systems or other fire extinguishing 
systems, fire detection devices, stand-alone smoke alarms, devices that alert one to the presence of a 
fire, such as horns, bells, or strobe lights; smoke-control and reduction mechanisms; and fire doors and 
walls that reduce the spread of a fire. 
Value of property damage: The estimated value of the loss of the structure and contents, in terms of the 
cost of replacement in like kind and quantity. This estimate should include contents damaged by fire, 
and related damages caused by smoke, water, and overhaul; however, it does not include indirect loss, 
such as business interruption. 
 Fire Safety in the Residence Halls 
 
Fires inside residence halls can occur at any time and prevention is everyone’s concern and the manner 
in which residents react in the event of a fire can mean the difference between life and death. For these 
reasons, the following information is provided to you. 
 
The residence halls at Agnes Scott College are designed for a reasonable level of fire safety. The fire 
alarms, sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, and extinguishers are all checked annually during the 
summer months by a certified fire protection company and repairs or adjustments are made whenever a 
problem is found.  
 
The alarms are monitored by the Department of Public Safety on a 24 hour basis 365 days a year.  The 
Department of Public Safety notifies the Fire Department upon discovering or receiving reports of a fire 
on campus 
 
Students, faculty and staff should report all fires to the Department of Public Safety by dialing X6400 
from any college phone line or 404 471-6400 from any phone line.  
 
Hazards in Residence Halls and Resident’s rooms 
 
Smoking Policy: Refer to the Smoking Policy, which appears in the STUDENT CONDUCT section. Smoking 
is strictly prohibited in all facilities (e.g. classrooms, computer labs, offices, residence halls and theme 
houses). Smoking is permitted outside at designated locations that have been equipped with 
appropriate receptacles. Smoking is not permitted within 20 feet of any residence hall or building 
entrance. Smoking is prohibited in Avery Glen apartment units. Violations of the college’s smoking policy 
will be handled as a disciplinary matter and will be reviewed by the appropriate college administrator 
and/or judicial body. (See Judicial Board Auto sanctions.) 
 
Electrical Appliances  
a. No changes or additions may be made in the wiring or electrical fixtures in any room without approval 
from the College electrician. Care should be taken not to overload the existing circuits.  
b. No extension cords may be used from the hallway plugs to the rooms.  
c. Electrical appliances, such as hot plates, microwaves, toasters and irons, are to be used only in the 
places especially equipped and designated for their use in each residence hall (kitchens, lounges, lobby 
areas, etc.). Electrical appliances are not to be used in student rooms. If you have questions regarding 
the approval of storage of your appliances or electrical equipment, please contact the Residence Life 
office at ext. 6408.  
 
Open flames: Many fires occurring in the residence halls are a result of burning candles. Camp stoves, 
candles (decorative or functional, wick or no wick), open coil heating or cooking elements, kerosene 
lamps, etc., can be extremely hazardous. Open flame devices are not permitted in student rooms. 
Similarly, burning incense is not allowed. Cooking on barbecue grills and hibachis is not allowed in or 
around the residence halls or apartments.  
 
Flammable Liquids (and other hazardous chemical): Gasoline, ether, paint, glue, etc. are not permitted 
in residence halls and or student rooms or storage areas. Motorized vehicles are not allowed in the 
building under any circumstances.  
 
Halogen Lamps: Due to the high temperature emitted from halogen lamps, they are prohibited in the 
residence halls. It has been reported that many fires are caused by materials coming in contact with the 
halogen bulb or other parts of the lamp.  
 
Cooking:  Cook safely and only in permitted and designated areas or kitchens using proper appliances. 
Microwaves can cause burns, or even start a fire. Residents should never leave cooking food 
unattended.  
 
Tampering with Fire Alarm Systems: The fire alarm system and firefighting equipment in the residence 
halls are for your protection. Tampering with smoke detectors, sprinkler heads, sprinkler piping, alarm 
boxes, and fire extinguishers is prohibited and may subject you to criminal prosecution. No items are to 
be hung or placed over smoke detectors or placed over lighting fixtures within any building. Hanging 
items from the sprinkler head or pipes is prohibited. Remember this is your life safety equipment. You 
will be held accountable and liable for any damage that may endanger the lives of other who reside in 
the building.  
 
False Alarms: Fire alarms may be set off in residence halls accidentally or due to tampering. How do 
you know if it is a false alarm? You don’t… so get out immediately! 
Fire Evacuation Drills 
Unannounced drills are conducted by the department of public safety in collaboration with the 
residence life office and the City of Decatur Fire Department once per semester. Drills are conducted to 
let resident students practice safe evacuation procedures and to evaluate staff performance. Buildings 
that do not pass a drill (e.g., evacuation too slow, students remain in building, etc.) are reported to 
resident life for follow-up educational and/or disciplinary action and are subject to retesting. 
Evacuation Procedures 
 
Fire and evacuation alarms are intended to alert building occupants that a fire or other life-threatening 
situation exists. Upon hearing the alarm, everyone should leave the building immediately. In the event 
of a fire, the following steps should be taken to ensure the safety of all building occupants. 
1. Activate the fire alarm. In the event of a fire or any emergency requiring building evacuation, it is 
essential to activate the nearest fire alarm pull station or verbally notify building occupants if the 
building is not equipped with a fire alarm system. 
2. Call Public Safety. Telephone X6400 and give your name, location, nature of the emergency and 
telephone number. This call should be made immediately, even if the fire alarm has already been 
activated. 
3. Exit the building. At the sound of a fire alarm, all building occupants should proceed to the nearest 
exit and leave the building immediately. During pre-emergency planning, all occupants should learn two 
evacuation routes from each building area. 
5. Assist physically impaired individuals. Physically impaired individuals should be given assistance to a 
secure area, such as a large stairwell or an office separated from a corridor by a fire door. Emergency 
personnel must be notified of their locations.  
6. Ensure all personnel are out of the building. Ensure all personnel are out of the immediate area. If 
there is time and no present danger, close all doors and windows while evacuating. 
7. Do not use the elevators. Elevators may lose power during a fire. If elevators are working during a fire 
emergency, their use is reserved for emergency response personnel only. 
8. Extinguish small fires. If the fire is small and you know how to use a fire extinguisher, attempt to 
extinguish the fire yourself. Do not attempt to extinguish any fire if there is a threat to your safety.  
9. Report hazardous conditions. If you are working in a research area and have sufficient time, ensure 
that the lab and experiments are in safe condition before leaving the area. Report any hazardous 
conditions to responding emergency personnel. 
10. Stay low. If confronted with smoke, keep near the floor. Smoke, heat and toxic gases will normally 
rise to the ceiling. All closed doors should be checked for heat prior to opening. If a doorknob is hot, the 
door should not be opened. 
11. Stay away from the building until it is safe to return. Do not re-enter the building until advised to 
do so by the authorities. 
 
Evacuation Procedure for Disabled Persons 
 
Persons whose mobility is impaired are individually responsible for informing their supervisors, 
residence life staff, office of academic advising and the department of public safety (404)471-6355 of 
their name, location and the nature of their disability. This information will be given to emergency 
responders during an emergency situation. The rescue of disabled persons who are unable to evacuate 
themselves will be an initial priority for responding fire units. Co-workers may assist in evacuating 
disabled persons only if this places them in no personal danger. Always ask someone with a disability 
how you can help before attempting any rescue technique. Ask the individual if there are any special 
considerations or items that need to come with the person. Someone should stay with the disabled 
person if it does not place them in additional danger, and someone should meet responding fire fighters 
to report the location of disabled persons. Visually impaired persons should have a sighted individual 
guide them to safety. Inform hearing-impaired persons of the nature of the emergency. Do not assume 
they know what is happening by watching others.

required to participate with the drill using the techniques that are outlined in the student handbook.  
Residence Life staff is trained prior to the start of the fall semester regarding fire safety and the use of 
fire extinguishers.
