Event Highlights:

Social Event: Virtual CS Speed Networking:

Speed networking evolved from the speed dating model of meeting a lot of people in a short amount of time. The Virtual Speed Networking event is an informal, fun process for facilitating introductions and conversations among CS staff, postgraduate and undergraduate students across all years who don’t normally know each other. The event aims to build and nurture strong, collaborative relationships between the CS Community and to increase individual and collective growth through networking and mentorship.
