There are many ways to share, promote, and discuss your research and professional interests — in person and online. It can be challenging to know where to start and to identify the best strategies for your communication goals.
Does networking make you think of a used car salesperson? Does talking to strangers make you cringe? It doesn’t have to be that way!
“So, what do you do?: How to network and talk about yourself”
Jackie Wirz, assistant dean, Graduate Studies, and director of the Career and Professional Development Center
July 11, 2 to 3:30 p.m.
BICC 124
Research Communication and Impact

You will practice deploying your plan to build genuine conversations that create a network you’ll be excited about!
