Culture Chats: Meeting New People and Forming Friendships In-Person
Are you ever unsure about what topics are appropriate to discuss when you talk to someone for the first time? When you meet new people, do you ever have a hard time making conversation? “Small talk” is a great conversation skill that can help you to interact with new people. Join us to learn more about “small talk,” share your experiences, and gain tips on how to chat with people for the first time.
This event is part of our Culture Chats series.
