Don’t miss Small Talk for Big Moments
If the thought of talking to strangers is a bit overwhelming for you, we understand! If you’ve never been to an event like this, or if you consider yourself a pro, you’ll learn strategies for balancing the art of conversation and etiquette while enjoying free appetizers and drinks.
Scenarios you might encounter:
- You’re interested in joining a fraternity/sorority but not sure how to make the best impression.
- You’ve just joined a new organization and want to be actively involved — now what?
- You are still feeling that you haven’t quite found a network of like-minded friends on campus. How can you use events to connect and find friends with shared interests and values?
- What happens when you have one hand holding a plate and the other holding a drink, and someone walks up to you and wants to shake your hand?
- What if you just ate something that tasted unpleasant, but you’re in the middle of a great conversation with a potential employer?
