Diversity Resources
Diversity Resources for Students
Organizations are increasingly looking for leaders and employees who can work well with people from a variety of backgrounds. Savvy organizations and students see a globalizing economy and demographic trends toward increased multiculturalism in the States. Below are resources for students from diverse backgrounds, for women, and for the LGBTQIA community. Students may be interested in a resource because it represents a piece of their own background and identity. Or they may be interested because they want to work in a setting that promotes diversity.
Check back often, as the OPCD will expand this list! If you have a resource you would like to add to the list, email careers@wfu.edu for consideration.
