The initial week of grad school seems like entering an entirely new world. You have classes to fit in, professors to meet and an entire community of strangers awaiting you. Even though academics will significantly be the key in the experience, the relationships you develop will also play a significant role. Networking in grad school is not about connections; it is about making friends, finding mentors, and other individuals who can make the process less difficult. Being part of a study group, going to an event at the university or even enjoying a cup of coffee with a classmate, any of the small steps can result in deep ties. This blog will help you to initiate, develop, and sustain such relationships.
