5th Annual Out for Undergraduate Business Conference

September 26-27, 2008
New York

Have you ever wondered if banking and consulting companies are good places for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people to work?

What about how comfortable you'd feel being open about your sexual orientation and/or gender identity in a corporate environment?

Have you worried being GLBT could hurt your candidacy or career advancement?

The fifth annual Out for Undergraduate Business Conference in New York will help GLBT undergraduate students learn how other "out" professionals have dealt with these same issues. Panelists will share insider knowledge about if, when, and how to come out in different professional situations, as well as strategies they've used to investigate companies' GLBT policies before joining a new organization.

The conference will also serve as a high-impact recruiting pipeline into investment banking and management consulting. The program will help participants:

• Build fundamental business knowledge crucial to the interview process
• Polish resume and interview skills
• Network with "out" professionals and students from other schools

The Conference will be held on September 26-27 in New York City. Scholarships to cover travel expenses and lodging are available for exceptional applicants. There will be opportunities to socialize with students from other schools and professionals from sponsoring companies at receptions, evening events, and a career fair. The $40 conference registration fee includes all conference meals, event memorabilia, and all panels / modules.
