This episode of Diversity and Inclusion on Air took place at 5pm ET on Monday, April 11.  The episode focused on issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity during the job search. My guests were Natalie Nguyen from NC State’s LGBT Center and Aiden Powell from Purdue’s LGBTQ Center.  This is a great and timely show for graduating students, job seeking professionals and employers who interested in creating inclusive job environments. We talked a bit about the situation in North Carolina and how to address concerns about transgender students with upcoming rotations in the state, and LGBTQ issues in the job hunt.

69: The Job Hunt & The Pandemic

In fall of 2015, The American Association Veterinary Medical Colleges launched Diversity & Inclusion on Air: Conversations about Diversity, Inclusion & Veterinary Medicine.
Although there has been in an increase in the amount of diversity programming hosted by AAVMC, its member institutions and student organizations, there is still a dearth of available programming within the veterinary profession.  Diversity & Inclusion on Air will change this by delivering more diversity programming to a wider veterinary audience. The program interviews and presentations will cover a wide range of topics and feature guests from across the profession.
