Warrior Network - LinkedIn

If you stay connected, it will change your life forever!

As you may know, the two key segments of LinkedIn are pages and groups. Both are very powerful networking tools for your use throughout your career.

Once you have joined LinkedIn and entered your profile, read the steps on how to utilize these aspects of LinkedIn.


Follow Winona State University’s Page

Once you have logged into your LinkedIn account, follow these simple steps to access more than 32,000 WSU alumni. (This page is built by LinkedIn based on individuals who listed WSU in their profile.)

  1. In the search bar at the top of the page near the blue “in” box, type “Winona State University.”
  2. Select “People who studied at” Winona State University.
  3. Filter the contacts you would like to connect with by using the selections on the right side of the page, using criteria such as location and current companies.

Alumni who meet your search criteria who are fellow WSU alumni will automatically be displayed. You can then choose who you would like to contact for assistance with relocation or to find out more about a specific employer. Contact individuals via the “Connect” button next to each person’s profile and ask for their help.


Join Winona State University’s Group

Once you have logged into your LinkedIn account, follow these steps to access more than 4,200 WSU alumni who are actively connecting with each other in a group.
