Expressing Yourself in the Workplace: A Discussion on Gender and Sexual Orientation
Thursday, March 28th | 6pm | MGC 203/205
Should I be "out" in the workplace? How do I express my gender to my coworkers? How can I be authentic through my resume and in the interview process? A panel will discuss these questions and how people negotiate and navigate their gender and sexual orientation in the workplace.
This program brings together a small group of students and a faculty-practitioner for lunch (paid for by CDI) and is a place where faculty members share their personal journeys, discuss tips for success, and highlight their research interests. Students who are seeking careers in these areas will have a great opportunity to receive an insiders perspective and expertise on what's to come post-graduation.
If you would like to participate in The Power Lunch please review the list of faculty below to see if any are within your career interests. If so, email Tracey Livingston and briefly explain which faculty member you would like to meet with and why you are interested. Space is extremely limited and will be on a first-come basis.
