Events

Join us for a dynamic conversation on the power of queer leadership and community in higher education and an opportunity to network with colleagues. As LGBTQ+ professionals navigate the complexities of leadership, connection and support, networks play a crucial role in career advancement and institutional change. This session will explore the challenges and opportunities of being an out, out-ish, (or not), leader in academia, strategies for building professional networks, and ways to uplift the next generation of LGBTQ+ professionals. Through conversations, we will share insights, foster meaningful connections, and strengthen our collective leadership. Whether you’re an established leader or emerging in your career, this space is for you!

Registration is required. Register on Zoom here.

Facilitator: Gillian McKnight-Tutein, EdD (Dr. G)
