This workshop helps graduate students build confidence in networking by focusing on authentic, relationship-centered approaches. Participants will learn practical strategies for engaging with others at conferences, symposia, and professional events, as well as in digital spaces like LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and ResearchGate. The session emphasizes conversation starters, developing an elevator pitch, and following up to sustain connections. We will also discuss how to overcome networking anxiety, set achievable goals, and approach professional interactions as opportunities for shared curiosity and collaboration.
