5:00pm – 6:30pm – Networking Workshop presented by Padraig.

The workshop will teach students to network for success and give participants a chance to:

• Identify their own values.
• Infer values and beliefs from others through conversation.
• Identify the initial components of their personal brand and how that brand may be interpreted by others.
• Identify their own fears or concerns with networking.
• Demonstrate curiosity-based conversations.
• Practice listening to understand.

6:30pm – 7:30pm – Speed Networking with Mentors from Law/Enviro Sectors

After learning the theoretical components of networking, students will have the opportunity to apply their new skills through a speed networking event with professionals in the fields of policy and law (mentor spotlights to come)! This portion of the event will follow the familiar format of speed networking with 10 minute rotations where students can chat with each mentor throughout the hour. We will also have our beloved speed networking bingo and questions prompts to help you keep the conservation up!

Students who attend can enjoy free refreshments, great conversation, and new connections! You may attend the workshop, the speed networking, or both! (We also have a door prize).

We look forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
