Grad Workshop: Talking to New People (Grad Room, in-person)
Tuesday, May 31, 12-1:30pm

Talking and connecting with new people is a challenge that everyone faces – even 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 Jennifer Pinker, Student Life Coordinator Graduate Programs and the Gradlife Peer Ambassador.
