Out at Work: Building Belonging in the Workplace

In recognition of LGBTQ+ History Month, join the Campus Cultural Events Committee and oSTEM for a panel conversation exploring LGBTQ+ identity, professional life, and the connections that foster belonging in the workplace. Faculty and staff panelists will reflect on what being “out at work” means to them, how that meaning has evolved throughout their careers, and the relationships and everyday practices that help people feel safe, respected, and able to bring their full selves to work.
Students, faculty, and staff are invited to join this conversation about identity, community, mentorship, and support.
Refreshments and mingling to follow panel.
