Computing Engagement and Awareness Workshop: Session 8

Networking with Researchers 101 | UR2PhD Workshop

This workshop teaches students about what networking is, why it is important, and how students can successfully build relationships with others. During the session, students learned how to draft an elevator pitch, how to provide feedback, and provided feedback on situations they may encounter in the future. At the end of the workshop, students practiced networking with one another, but the live practice was not recorded.

This workshop is part of the Computing Research Engagement and Awareness series within the UR2PhD program, a virtual program that aims to increase the number of quality undergraduate research opportunities and to close the gap between a first research experience and a successful PhD application for women and gender-marginalized groups. The Computing Research Engagement and Awareness Workshop series is an ongoing series, and the next session will take place in February of 2025. The UR2PhD team encourages students to register for the series to learn more about computing research, engage with active researchers, and build community with peers in the field.
