Queering the Workplace: A Career Panel for LGBTQ+ Grad Students
Friday, January 27, 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm EST
LGBTQ+ graduate students often struggle with queer visibility and representation in their departments, which proves to be a barrier in being able to find mentors and access professional academic and industry advice. This virtual panel will help current LGBTQ+ students imagine their professional lives beyond their university course work. A wide range of LGBTQ+ alumni and staff members, who are working in industry, will share their success stories and take questions from the audience. After the panel, individual panelists will lead small round table discussions with the participants in break out sessions for professional skill-building through guided conversation about industry and a more intimate opportunity for Q&A.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/Qe2dZ.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time, preferably one week, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.
