You may have heard people encourage you to “network.” Though, what does it mean to network, and how do you build your professional community? In this workshop, we will discuss how to tap into networks you already have, explore introducing yourself professionally, and strategize ways to create long lasting authentic connections.
You should attend this session if you are:
An undergraduate U-M LSA student
Interested in learning more about networking and exploring networking strategies
Interested in maintaining connections made with professionals
What you’ll gain by attending:
Learn the overarching purpose and goals of networking
Discuss your concerns around networking and strategize how to address them
Identify what networks you already have access to and who you want to connect with
Brainstorm effective introductory messages to grow your network
