Speaking engagement @ Penn State University
Panel on trasitioning to work from college as an LGBT person
Out for Work held a panel last night at Penn State Univeristy. I represented IBM on behalf of our LGBT group. The other panelists included folks from Johnson and Johnson, Sodexho, Mellon and Earnst and Young.
Prior to the conference there was a networking session where about 20 students showed up to chat. There was representation from freshmen to graduate classes and a variety of majors.
The panel session was a success with questions about including LGBT community participation on your resume, gender transition in the workplace, coming out experiences, and the general climate for LGBT folks at our companies.
I’m consistanly impressed by the degree of sophistication that current students seem to have. Their questions were thoughtful and sincere - I think that it was a successful event for all. Thanks so much to Eric for all of his leadership in organizing the oSTEM at PSU.
