Returning this Fall: Plateful of Pride
|
|
In Fall 2019, the Center reintroduced Plateful of Pride, a series of discussions over dinner that highlight the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community.
In February, Julian Arney, ’14 Carnegie Mellon Psychology alum, joined the Center to share their experience as a Production Coordinator with Uber and as the Global Allyship & Education lead for Pride at Uber. They shared their experiences being Black and Queer and advocating for both, locally and in their organization. Additionally, Julian talked about their approach to coming out in their workplace environment and taking on leadership roles.
Be on the lookout this fall semester for more installments to our Plateful of Pride series.

Revisiting a Racism is Real Resource
|
|
Racism is Real, the Center's lecture series that offers the campus community insight into the reality of racial prejudice and discrimination through highlighting current research and researchers working in this area, has explored topics of microaggressions and racial oppression. In this time of action and reflection, we're revisiting the materials in these lectures to help guide our campus conversations. Check out the tools below from past Racism is Real sessions on how to interrupt microaggressions and what to do if you experience an act of oppression.

Dear Carnegie Mellon Community,
We are pleased to announce that CMU now has its very own chapter of Out in STEM! Together with 90 global oSTEM chapters, our organization aims to create a space for LGBTQ+ individuals in STEM and related fields to connect, network, and find the resources they need to succeed personally, academically, and professionally.
We stand proudly in support of the BIPOC community and the Black Lives Matter movement, and we are committed to providing an inclusive safe space for people of all backgrounds. We have compiled an (incomplete) list of resources on how to help support the BLM movement at https://bit.ly/ostem-blm.
