Storytelling
Develop your reputation through the stories you tell industry professionals, faculty, peers, alumni, and potential employers.
Note which skill sets you're using to learn in your classes and how can you use those same skills (not necessarily the facts you're learning) outside of the classroom; your courses are training you to think in ways that you can use in the workforce.
