Study something other than theatre! I am not kidding. Sure, you probably have some kind of gen-ed requirements, but you should not limit yourself to the requirements of your major. If there is some science class that sounds interesting, take it! Get out of the theatre department as much as you can. Sometimes this is good purely for meeting people other than those who share your major. College has a lot to offer, don't pigeon-hole yourself into one nook. The best technicians and designers have a well rounded education that is not limited to what was taught in the theatre department.
Other than that, try and work as much as you can, get your name out there, and give business cards to the people you work with.
