- Tuesday, October 6 from 12-1p.m. CT

Eligibility: Due to event popularity and limited availability of spaces, juniors and seniors will receive preference for Virtual Speed Networking registration. Registration is open to sophomores, and based on event capacity, they will be added to a waiting list for the event. They are encouraged to attend Prep Sessions and will be notified regarding event capacity the week of Oct. 5.
