LGBTQ+

With direction and advice from the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, the Center for Career Development created the LGBTQ+ Affinity Community. This community’s goal is to provide resources focused on supporting students who self-identify within the LGBTQ+ and Allied Community.

LGBTQ+ students and alumni encounter unique challenges throughout the career development and job search processes and in the workplace. As a follower of the LGBTQ+ community, you will get timely alerts on relevant resources, news and advice, and events. The Career Center is committed to advocating and supporting LGBTQ+ students and alumni as they navigate the intersection of career and identity.
