Disclosing Sensitive Information, 10/9:

Through my conversations with our college career partners many have stated their students need more information about disclosing sensitive information to employers, whether it be at the application phase or when they enter a professional environment.  To that end, we are collaborating with nearly every academic college career office to put the following event together.  The presenters are a mix of campus/community professionals and employers.

Disclosing LGBTQ Identities
6:00 p.m. – 6:45 p.m.

Disclosing Disabilities
7:00 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.

Disclosing Criminal Histories
8:00 p.m. – 8:45 p.m.

It is exclusively online via Zoom, and our campus/World Campus colleagues will promoting it, as well.  Since it is online, we made the decision with marketing to request only social media marketing pieces – I have those attached should you like to promote this event.  Our marketing team does not provide the details in the social media image, but asks you to add those in the caption.

The event is listed on our website here, along with the details and participating college partners: https://studentaffairs.psu.edu/career/programs/events-workshops

Please let me know if you have any questions!
