Jana Mathews , a professor of Medieval literature at Rollins College, checks the bathrooms to coax out students hiding from the big event in her Job Market Boot Camp class, a mixer with alumni to practice professional networking. For many of her students, the face-to-face conversations with strangers are more nerve-racking than decoding Chaucer.
