Grad Cafe: LinkedIn Essentials for Graduate Students In-Person / Online
The Grad Cafe series through the Grad Center, in collaboration with other campus partners, features resources and tips that will help you successfully navigate your academic experiences at Penn. Campus partners share best practices to benefit all graduate and professional students. Healthy snacks, coffee, and tea are provided. We encourage you to BYOM (Bring Your Own Mug)! Please note that sessions are held in Van Pelt Library, not the Grad Center. Our event begins promptly at 11:00am so please arrive early to find your snack and seat. A Penn graduate ID is required for entry.
