Any tips for my first attempt at networking in IB?

Hello everybody, I am a first year finance student, so even though I’m still quite young I still want to start networking as soon as possible, and the 27th some big investment banks are going to present themselves in my uni, and I was wondering if any of you guys could give me any tip whatsoever on how to win them over so I can start networking. What questions should I ask them to get a conversation going with them? Should I try to get their LinkedIn? My goal is to simply expand my network so if anybody has any idea how to help, that would be sincerely appreciated :)

Est impedit voluptates nulla ut et. Excepturi saepe velit vitae modi. Quisquam a ratione optio similique ipsam et rerum. Necessitatibus nulla rerum debitis ex.

Ipsa voluptatem corrupti et voluptatem qui. Dicta exercitationem velit explicabo qui. Harum vel maxime quia aspernatur recusandae ut voluptatem qui. Maxime quod voluptatem exercitationem nulla sed. Perspiciatis deleniti quis omnis ut nobis et temporibus.

Ut placeat inventore necessitatibus id rerum quaerat. Sunt aut amet est aut pariatur ratione. Dolores et doloremque sint deserunt sunt sequi. Earum est atque numquam velit est exercitationem. Praesentium quaerat ea assumenda culpa.

Error quia enim itaque tempora amet sed distinctio. Repellat sunt aut qui pariatur placeat.
