LinkedIn advice

Hey guys I’m a recent grad and I just got a first round interview for a position I really want. I saw on LinkedIn someone from my university works in that same department. I connected with them and want to obviously reach out but not sure what to say. Not like they are the hiring manager but hoping they could at least put in a word for me any advice on how to word it?
