How Virtual Speed Networking Works
Virtual Speed Networking connects you with public health professionals for short, focused, one-on-one conversations. You can sign up for up to five 15-minute sessions, with a 5-minute break between each conversation.
This event is designed for professional development and network building rather than recruitment. Hosts are participating to share their experience, perspectives, and advice with CUNY SPH students and alumni.
