Register for the following events on CLNx:
Grad Talk: Talking to New People (Online) for Incoming Graduate Students
Thursday, January 20, 10 – 11:30 am
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 in online environments? You’re not alone! 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. 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.
Grads Connect for Incoming Graduate Students
Friday, January 21, 7 – 8:30 p.m.
Grads Connect Social is an exciting way to meet other incoming grad students. We will cycle students through breakout rooms so that they can meet new people and make new connections. 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.

Friday, January 28, 7 – 8:30 p.m.
