Alumni stories: Navigating university and work as your authentic self
Join us for an inspiring and inclusive panel session that celebrates diversity, shares lived experiences, and empowers allyship.
This honest conversation with industry experts and recent graduates explores the barriers they’ve faced, support that made a difference, and the moments that shaped their confidence and sense of belonging.
Whether you’re exploring your identity, preparing for the world of work, or passionate about inclusion, this session is a space to listen, learn, and grow.
You’ll gain practical advice on navigating recruitment, communicating authentically, and showing up as your true self in professional spaces – plus tips on how to be a better ally to others.
