Overview

Join us for an introduction to networking, thinking about what it is, and where you might make professional connections. Take part in discussions: What do you love about networking? What do you hate about networking? How could you feel more comfortable? How do you follow up with your new contacts? Write an elevator pitch and practice it in pairs to get ready for some real industry networking.
