LGBT Events & Resources

Career Services provides programs and resources to assist LGBT students and alumni with such issues as locating "gay- and lesbian-friendly" employers and "coming out" during the job search or at work. Visit the Career Services office on your campus for LGBT career-related information. Counselors are available by appointment to assist with a wide range of career planning issues. Each year Career Services co-sponsors programs with the Office of Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities, including the annual Out at Work panel.
