Question on Maintaining Networking Connections?

Hey guys,

I'm a senior in college and have been fortunate to have a job locked down already. Throughout the internship and FT recruiting processes I have networked with loads of alumni and family friends etc. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on the best way to keep in touch with all these connections? Should I give them a quick update on my FT job/thanks/looking forward to keeping in touch?

I am extremely content with the position I landed, but want to make sure I maintain these relationships so that I come to mind if they have any openings in a year or two, how should I express this? Also, how do I contribute to a relationship like this/express my gratitude? I know networking is about relationships and it is a two way street.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
