Is maintaining a relationship with your professors in college important?

Relationships are very key to success. You never know what influential people they have contact with. That being said, your work is going to be the key differentiator that makes you stand out from the crowd. It's great to introduce yourself, but make sure your work reflects to your professor that you're giving 100% effort. Then they'll be more likely to recommend you to their colleagues and associates in their network for career opportunities, letters of recommendation, etc.

I am not sure that it is important but it might come handy. You would never know how people might help you or how you would interact with them in the future. You professors are a great starting point to your network especially those that are in you area of studies. They can recommend you for internship or a job as they have their own network. They are also a great resource for recommendation letter when you would apply for a job. At the end i think it is up to you as any relationship you will encounter would depend on your efforts, willingness and time you would dedicate to nurture those relationships.
