Queering the Workplace: A Career Panel for LGBTQ+ Grad Students

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.
