Networking
may be the most important career skill that we don't learn in grad school.
Effective networking helps connect you with jobs, collaborators, funding,
mentors, and recognition for your work. Person-to-person connections also lead
to a more rewarding professional experience, reducing feelings of isolation and
helping to build support systems and friendships. This webinar will help
participants think through both the "why" and "how" of
effective networking, both in-person and on-line, and introduce a clear,
practical strategy for your own career networking. We hope you will join us!
