“Creating Connections” is a simple, flexible program that matches trios of Michigan Engineering staff for informal conversations. Matches are made every two months. Whether trios schedule a quick video chat or choose to meet over coffee or lunch, this is a great opportunity for staff to expand their network, share experiences, and discover new perspectives.
“Conversations build relationships. Relationships build value.”
– Richard Sheridan, “Joy, Inc.”
Michigan Engineering staff can sign up with just a few clicks.
Once you join, you will get randomly matched with two other staff members every two months.
Reach out to your trio to schedule a 30-minute meeting (virtually or in person—it’s up to you!).
No prep. No agenda. Just an opportunity to make new connections.

If you’re looking for “Creating Conversations,” you’re in the right place! The name change emphasizes the way this program helps us build connections across Michigan Engineering.
Please let your supervisor know you want to sign up.
Sorry, the bill is on you if you choose to snack or caffeinate during the meetup.
There is no expectation that the trio interacts after the conversation, but if you make a meaningful connection, keep it going!
