Sophomore @ Princeton looking to begin summer 2019 internship search

Hello! I'm a sophomore at Princeton studying Operations Research and Financial Engineering and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to best prep myself for getting a job in IB next summer. I'm well aware Princeton is a target school, but thus far I've done a really bad job going to on campus events aside from career fairs. How do you recommend going about building a "network" and leveraging alumni? What topics must I be fully aware of before I begin informational interviews? How should the flow of an informational interview go? And how can I create my path to Wall Street?
