Celebrating LGBTQ+ Alumni Career Journeys
“It was only in June of 2020 that the US Supreme Court ruled that federal anti-discrimination laws now protect LGBTQ+ leaders from employment discrimination in every state. This is a step in the right direction and a catalyst for us all to continue uplifting the rights and stories of our LGBTQ+ students and alumni,” says Cal Alumni Association (CAA) Chief Program Officer Anh Tran ’06. At a recent virtual career panel, Cal alumni in the LGBTQ+ community connected with our Alumni Scholars and student leaders from the Achievement Award Program, Leadership Award, Cal Pride Scholarship, Educational Opportunity Program, and Gender Equity Resource Center. Student leaders received advice on staying true to their values while working toward their career goals.
