Ep.3 -- How Do I Make Connections? : Networking, Community Building and Student Leadership
Manage episode 320442088 series 3315394
“I don’t know how to talk to professors” and “I don’t know how to network or make friends” are some of the questions we find ourselves asking as new students entering university. The thought of forming new relationships can be intimidating, and that makes total sense. It’s scary to think about going to a place with thousands of people and not knowing anyone.
Join Brianna and Sam as they break down the best networking techniques to create valuable connections and opportunities. Does all networking have to be in person? What does virtual networking look like? University student Lavarnan talks about how getting out of your comfort zone and connecting with others with shared interests can create spaces for advocacy and community building in physical and virtual environments.
Backstage Pass is funded by an eCampus Ontario Virtual Learning Strategy Grant, and is a collaboration between students, staff, and community members based at Ryerson University (Renaming in process) and York University.
