As students, we attend the meeting to present our research, obtain feedback, and rub elbows with some pretty awesome, established ecologists. Â Critical to a productive meeting experience is networking with a wide range of people and forming relationships with other students from around the country. This is not a natural skill set for most people. This workshop will focus on networking with fellow students to build relationships and foster future collaboration. Â We will provide some brief tips on how to start and maintain conversations with time for student networking. Â This session targets first time attendees, but advice and discussion/networking opportunities are relevant to students at all levels as well as recent graduates in attendance.
