The WIT Crowd | 10/19/2020

The beginning of the semester is upon us! It looks different than nearly every semester we’ve had before, and we’ve all had to be open to change, communicate more, and practice resilience.

We hope that you find yourself in an environment that supports your emotional and mental health while helping you bring innovation and exploration to this new world of work!

Something to Do

  • Volunteer to join the UMN WIT Finance Committee! We are seeking someone interested in participating in the financial management of WIT. This person should be interested in helping to set yearly budgets and keeping our accounts balanced.
  • Exploring & Expanding Our Understandings of Woman and Gender (with Justin Toliver): When most of us hear the word “woman,” a specific image and idea comes to mind. Even before we entered the world, gender was assigned to us in a very specific and often restricting way. In this session and as a community, we will explore, interrogate, and expand our understanding of gender including how we conceptualize what it means to be “woman,” “man,” or neither! Justin (pronouns: they/them/theirs) will utilize a human centered approach to guide participants in cultivating a culture of organizational inclusion for people of all genders, while centering the needs of people with marginalized gendered experiences. Please join us October 22, 2020, 2-4 p.m. via Zoom.
