Should I Still Network with Current School Alumni if I Want to Transfer

I'm a freshman currently attend a non-target/semi-target with a decent size alumni base at various BBs. I'm hoping to obtain a sophomore IB internship at a BB and I've been told that if I should begin my networking process now, then my goal would be very achievable. However, I am also going to try and transfer to another school (a target, but I'm transferring for personal reasons) at the same time. My question is, if I start networking now and successfully transfer, will my current networking end up hurting me as the alumni (who are fiercely loyal to my current school) will know that I transferred?
