This is a beautiful collaboration across a number of departments. CARE is taking the lead and we are cosponsoring and supporting. Please attend.

From our friends at the Counseling Center. Lots of information on resources and coping strategies during the pandemic.

With half of 2020 behind us, Out for Undergrad (O4U) recognizes that students, faculty, and staff have been juggling a lot this year. Many students reached out to us after our final application round to express that they were interested in our conference, but missed the application deadline. To better reach and support the LGBTQ+ students in your community, O4U wants to give them one last chance to apply to attend our Fall 2020 Engineering conference. Our engineering confer...ence team has been hard at work developing a world-class digital event this fall. Although we may not be able to gather in person, we are excited to virtually convene a group of bright LGBTQ+ students and mentors for professional and personal development, and we would love to see your students included in that group! This conference is a fantastic opportunity to meet and network with employers from a variety of different companies such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Clorox, Medtronic, Toyota, and many more. Our application round will open on July 27th, at 12 PM PST, and will continue through August 9th, until 11:59 PST. The application will be available here: https://www.outforundergrad.org/apply Please share this information with the students in your community, and reach out to us if you have any questions. From personal experience, O4U is a life-changing opportunity that can open the door to not only a career but also to lifelong friends and mentors. In the meantime, we hope that you are taking time to recharge, reflect, and rest. Best, The O4U Engineering Admissions Team
