Session Description: This 2-hour networking session has three parts. During the first 1/2 hour speakers will present on networking/communications skills. Then, attendees will have one hour for a fun and interactive workshop with 1:1 two-minute conversations between mentor: students or students: students. Next, will rotate so everyone will be encouraged to interact with others. The main idea here is to interact with as much people as possible, having an elevator speech and business cards ready to exchange with new people. The last 30 minutes of the session will be focused on open networking with professional mentors and students. Snacks/beverages will be provided.
