Your first connection starts here. For this discussion, introduce yourself to the cohort and share something from your Get to Know Me worksheet. This is how we start building the team support network you’ll lean on during your first 90 days.

To complete this discussion:

Post your introduction by Wednesday.
Reply to at least two classmates by Friday.

In your post, share:

  1. Your name and where you’re joining from.
  2. One thing you want your cohort to know about you.
  3. One goal you have for your first 90 days.
  4. One way your teammates can support you as you learn.

In your replies, be specific and encouraging. Notice something you have in common, ask a thoughtful question, or cheer someone on.

Remember: Strong teams do not start on Day 1 by accident. They start when people take the first step to connect.
