Project Description
An LGBTQ+ mentoring program, Advancing Queer Student Education and Social Success Mentoring Program (AQSESS) will connect LGBTQ+ faculty/staff to LGBTQ+ students and focus on professional development, connection to resources, and community building. Students will gain professional skills through an LGBTQ+ lens and learn how to navigate having LGBTQ+ related experience on their resumes, coming out or remaining closeted during the hiring process, and expressing LGBTQ+ identities in the workplace and on the job market. Students will be connected to a network of LGBTQ+ professionals at IUPUI and within the Indianapolis community. Students will experience a sense of belonging to IUPUI as LGBTQ+ individuals and become engaged alumni.
