\nNetworking for researchers<\/strong>
\nA success factor for any career, networking can be daunting for shyer people, who then envy the \u201cpeople-oriented\u201d ones. In fact, both the introverted and the extraverted can benefit from a more systematic approach to professional networking. This session 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.<\/td>		Featheringill Hall 134<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
