How to network with C-Suite executives?

Context: I'm a rising senior in college.

Through one manner or another, I have a number of connections that are either current or former C-suite executives of banks of varying size (BB, EB). What is the best way to approach them in order to have them put in the magical call/email that will get me an interview at the very least?

I've done the whole networking shindig with a number of analysts/associates, some MDs. C-suite executives (former or current JPM/MS/GS) are a whole different animal and require a different approach which I am unsure of. From my search of these forums, it appears there isn't much literature on networking with people at that high of a level, so I would greatly appreciate any ideas on how to go about this.
