Voted #2 Ideal Employer of undergraduate engineering students in 2009. – Universum Undergraduate Survey, 2009 OUT for Work presents: The National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Ally College Student Career Conference

WELCOME LETTER Dear Participant, Welcome to the Fifth Annual OUT for Work National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Ally College Student Career Conference. On behalf of the OUT for Work (OFW) staff and Board of Directors, we thank you for spending the weekend with us. Once again, we have organized an amazing program filled with presentations, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. Take advantage of these sessions and discussions, use them to your best ability and engage in them! Each organization and their representatives have been principally selected for you. This is your opportunity to ask your questions and glean expertise from seasoned professionals. Network; get to know your future colleagues. Since last year’s conference, the economic landscape has changed dramatically. Many of OFW’s long time partners faced budget freezes that dramatically cut their partnership level or prohibited them from partnering. Colleges also saw budget cuts. Many schools sent fewer students or were unable to send students. Recently, a report from The National Association of Colleges and Employers stated that employers expect to hire 22% fewer new graduates. Regardless, the attendance of the organizations, special guests, and students gathered here today is testament to the commitment of the LGBT community. What’s ahead? OFW is looking forward, along with the brightening economic forecast, and planning for 2010. Next spring OFW will organize the Second Annual West Coast OUT for Work event. Last year’s premiere event brought over 130 participants from the west coast to the UCLA campus. In addition, OFW will launch The OUT for Work Career Center Certification Program. OFW will audit career centers around the country and analyze the level of career resources provided for LGBTQ students. Each audited career center will receive either OFW certification or OFW provided tools and resources. On a personal note, I want to thank each and every participant and organization here today and those from each of the past five years. These conferences have filled me with many memories and fulfilled many dreams. After reading Kirk Snyder’s book, The Lavender Road to Success, I was inspired to create what has now become OUT for Work. I am confident that just as I was inspired to create OUT for Work, you will walk away this weekend feeling educated, prepared, and empowered. Have an amazing conference!

Warm Regards,

Riley Folds Founder OUT for Work
