Scenario 1: Your advisor is completely intimidating and hard to get ahold of to set up a meeting or discuss your research direction. On the one hand you’re wanting more interaction, but on the other you’re afraid of the interaction and what might come out of it. What do you do?

Scenario 2: Your labmate is driving you up the wall – using your equipment without asking and leaving messes for you to clean up. They are totally inconsiderate and it’s getting in the way of your research. What do you do?

If you’ve found yourself in situations like this since coming to MIT, this workshop is for you! Negotiation I for Graduate students provides one-and-a-half hours of instruction and practice in planning and executing a successful collaborative negotiation process. Through interactive activities, participants will learn and exercise skills that are immediately applicable in their daily lives.
