Speed Networking, 2/22 @5:45pm

Wed., February 22, 5:45- 8:00 pm in the Campus Center MPR

The Office of Career Planning invites students to participate in its Annual Speed Networking Event.  Speed Networking provides students with a forum to refine their professional networking skills and teaches them the art of self-promotion. It consists of brief conversations between students and practicing lawyers, at regular intervals of time. Once the time is up, students move on to the next lawyer, then the next, ultimately giving them the chance to meet with several participating attorneys, getting career advice and tools for communicating with professionals.  Allowing for optimal connections to be made, within a minimal amount of time, Speed Networking is a sure-fire way for students to avoid first-impression faux pas and networking nightmares.   In this structured environment students can talk to people they wouldn’t otherwise come into contact with, and can decide whether they have an interest in a particular kind of employer or practice area.  Following the one-hour speed networking session, there will be a short reception where participants can have the opportunity to speak more informally. 

The program will run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Campus Center Multi-Purpose Room. Following the one-hour speed networking session, there will be a short reception where participants can have the opportunity to speak more informally.   Students should plan to arrive at 5:45 to check in for the event; students who have class until 5:50 should arrive as soon as possible after their class.
