Recall the days when "networking" actually meant meeting people and making new contacts? This interactive workshop is designed to help get you out from behind your computer and into the world of informational interviewing and networking. In this workshop, Abby Scott will lead you through some practical tips to expand your network and connect and reconnect with people in your fields of interest.  The Kellogg network and your own professional networks may be largely untapped. Research has shown that the power of networking lies beyond your strong ties.  Bring an open mind and a networking story (successful or otherwise) and we’ll work to get your networking skills back into shape.
