The University of Miami School of Law’s Career Development Office cordially invites you to participate in our First Annual Speed Networking Event on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event will be held in the School of Law Student Lounge.

The goal of this event is to provide students with a forum in which they can refine their professional networking skills and forge connections, while gathering information about the legal profession. Allowing for optimal connections to be made within a minimal amount of time, Speed Networking is a way to help students to avoid first-impression networking nightmares, while allowing employers to meet students in a low-pressure environment with no hiring expectations. The evening will consist of a series of round robin “Flash Sessions” lasting approximately eight minutes in length. The program will be followed by a reception.

To participate in helping students enhance their networking skills, please complete the registration form and fax it to Sarah Klein’s attention at (305) 284-6213 or email sklein1@law.miami.edu by noon on Thursday, September 10, 2009. Please feel free to send us any additional information about you and your organization. We understand that your busy schedule may not permit you to stay for the entire event and will appreciate whatever time you can contribute. Upon receipt of your registration form, we will send you a confirmation package with more information. Additionally, if you are unable to attend or believe that another attorney in your office would like to join us, please feel free to pass this along and let us know with whom should we follow up.

If you have any questions regarding the fair, please call Sarah Klein, Assistant Director in the Career Development Office, at (305) 284-1368.
