SUMMARY:Building Meaningful Relationships Through Professional Networking
DESCRIPTION:Join us to build meaningful connections through professional networking! Growing your network in size contributes to the diversity of knowledge\, skills\, and abilities of those you are connected to. At the same time\, it is important to build a network with intention and purpose. The relationships you build through networking come in handy when you need expertise\, mentorship\, and support with planned or unexpected changes in work and career. Equally important is that you can be that connection for others. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will begin with a presentation focused on foundational networking practices to build meaningful connections in person and in the digital world. We will wrap up the workshop with an opportunity for you to put your new knowledge and skills to use with an in-person networking lunch. \n\n\n\nLunch is provided. We look forward to seeing you there and becoming a valued member of your professional network! \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Events Information
