“I don’t know how to talk to professors” and “I don’t know how to network or make friends” are  some of the questions we find ourselves asking as new students entering university.  The thought of forming new relationships can be intimidating, and that makes total sense. It’s scary to think about going to a place with thousands of people and not knowing anyone. Join Brianna and Sam as they break down the best networking techniques to create valuable connections and opportunities. Does all networking have to be in person? What does virtual networking look like? University student Lavarnan talks about how getting out of your comfort zone and connecting with others with shared interests can create spaces for advocacy and community building in physical and virtual environments.Backstage Pass is funded by an eCampus Ontario Virtual Learning Strategy Grant, and  is a collaboration between students, staff, and community members based at Ryerson University (Renaming in process) and York University.Timestamps01:44  Intro - Building Professional Relationships03:42  Discussion - Networking Misconceptions and Looking Back to Our First Year 11:42  Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone and Student Leadership - Student Feature Lavarnan18:23  Making Networking Less Intimidating - Tips and Tricks!23:01  Closing Thoughts and Wrapping UpResourcesAccess the transcript and free eLearning modules HERE!Episode Transcript eLearning ModuleFollow the ProjectFollow the Backstage Pass Podcast through @RyersonSLLS on Instagram and Twitter!CreditsRyerson University (Renaming in process) Content ExpertsMeera Govindasamy, Academic Engagement Specialist, Principal InvestigatorAndrew Bisnauth, Manager, Student Life and Campus EngagementYork University Content ExpertsKayla Lascasas, New Student Transition CoordinatorJair Kallidumbil, Manager, Student LifeStudent Advisory CommitteeRiya BhatlaMicah ChuKaranveer KhadraMedia Production Research AssistantsSamantha McNulty, co-host and technical producerBrianna Roett, co-host and producerDesignersMariam Ahmed, Instructional DesignerSally Goldberg Powell, Instructional TechnologistErica Wu, Graphic DesignerAli Aird, Project ManagerThe included music and/or sound effects from Jamendo and Artlist are used with permission in this project, but the user is not free to remix the content containing music and/or sound effects, extract and use the music out of the context of the podcast or use the music or sound effects offline.
