Talking to New People for Incoming Grad Students
January 29, 9-10:30 a.m. (Multi-Faith Centre, Main Activity Hall, 569 Spadina Avenue)
Do you find talking to new people difficult? Do your fears hold you back from making connections? Are you finding it hard to build meaningful connections? Talking and connecting with new people is a challenge that everyone faces (even for Graduate students) and we created this workshop to help you develop the skills you need to not only make new connections, but to manage the fear and anxiety that comes along with it. In this workshop, we will teach you how to make new connections during your graduate programs and you will practice these skills so that you’ll leave with experience, and confidence that will help you continue talking to new people. Facilitated by the Student Life Coordinator, Graduate Programs & Outreach.
Register for this in-person event.
Grads Connect for Incoming Students (Virtual)
January 30, 7-8:30 p.m.

Not only will this event be a fun and low-pressure way to get to know Grad students across disciplines, but it will help you to develop your networking and conversation skills. Facilitated by the Student Life Coordinator Graduate Programs & Outreach and the Gradlife Ambassador.
