Timely Topics Series
Timely Topics is a series of opportunities to engage with subject matter experts on topics relevant to those who support and advise graduate students and programs. Every session is available to all UConn faculty and staff. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming session:
What Does Talking About Career in the Classroom Have to do with Equity?
During this session, faculty and instructors will learn about career inequity, the implications for marginalized and first-generation students, and how to help by incorporating career development instruction via assignments and through course conversation. After this session, attendees will be able to:
- Define and understand what career inequity is and how it effects students at UConn
- Explain what the Career Center is doing around career inequity and resources for faculty
- Determine strategies to integrate career readiness conversations into the classroom for existing curriculum to help alleviate career inequity at UConn
