This year's topics are...
Creating an authentic, professional identity as a new professional and as a more experienced professional: Engage in dialogue on what alumni wish they knew about working right out of college, how they define a professional identity, and what an authentic professional identity can look like.
Professional relationship/community: A discussion about boundaries in the workplace, what you can do when your boundaries are crossed, and how to build community and relationships around your identities in the workplace.
Cultivating a healthy work/life harmony: Join us in sharing ways to cultivate a healthy work/life harmony.
How oppressive structures like white supremacy or patriarchy show up: This topic spotlights alumni as they share examples of oppressive structures they have witnessed within their workspaces, how to voice concerns in a professional environment when oppressive structures are being instilled, and what to do if your concerns regarding oppressive structures are not addressed.
