A success factor for any career, networking can be daunting for shyer people, who then envy the “people-oriented” ones. In fact, both the introverted and the extraverted can benefit from a more systematic approach to professional networking. 

This lecture reviews the types of network worth considering and the approaches to effective networking, both face to face and online, each time offering concrete, readily applicable tips.

Refreshments will be served at this workshop. Please email us at UMMS-Faculty-Development@med.umich.edu if you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies. Advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.
