2009 Diversity Networking Reception

The Office for Equity and Diversity at the University of Minnesota is pleased to host the first annual Diversity Networking Reception for diverse undergraduate students. Students who attend the event will have the opportunity to meet and network with potential employers across the Twin Cities metro who are interested in a diverse workforce.

WHO:
Undergraduate students who identify with one or more of the populations served by the Office for Equity and Diversity (students of color, GLBT students, women, and students with disabilities) are invited to attend.

WHAT:
A two-hour networking session with representatives with corporations, non-profits, and other employers from around the Twin Cities. Not a job fair, this is a chance for undergraduate students at all levels to practice their networking skills, talk to representatives from a wide range of industries, and learn about employers that are committed to organizational diversity.

WHERE/WHEN:
The University Ballroom, second floor, Radisson University Hotel.

HOW:
The networking reception is free of charge for students but registration is strongly encouraged and space is limited. More information and event registration is available online at www.academic.umn.edu/equity/DNR2009.html
