2SLGBTQ+ Experiences & Work

Sep 24, 2024 02:00 PM to 03:30 PM

Registration Deadline: Sep 24, 2024 02:00 PM

Our multiple, intersectional identities are intrinsically tied to how we find and show up at work - so let's talk about it!
This session is co-hosted by Career Exploration & Education and the Sexual & Gender Diversity Office. You can attend online or in-person.

Join us to... 
  • Develop strategies to identify workplaces that align with your values, priorities, skills and interests
  • Explore disclosure at different stages of the application process, as it relates to sexual and gender identity(ies)*
  • Foster your confidence and self-advocacy by understanding your rights, and an employers responsibilities
  • Build community and connect with other 2SLGBTQ+ students, staff, and alumni
*We understand not everyone gets to choose whether or not to disclose aspects of their identity(ies), especially trans & nonbinary folks. We will explore and prioritize this in our discussions, particularly when discussing job-seekers rights, employers responsibilities, and strategies to identify safer workplaces. 

Coffee, tea, baked goods, and snacks will be provided for in-person attendees.
 
What should I expect in this session? 
  • This session will involve an interactive presentation, and opportunities for dialogue and connection across our experiences and identities. 
    • While our conversation is made stronger with the inclusion of more voices, we understand some folks may prefer to observe. We trust you to participate in the session in the way that best meets your needs. 
  • Tea, coffee, juice, baked goods, and other snacks will be available for in-person attendees.
